Toby caught a mouse!

Toby stole one of Zoey's Pads!
They like to hang out on the bed together.
Sometime in July Toby caught himself a field mouse. It was tan colour like deer and wild rabbits.  Terry has been letting the cats out when he's out tanning and progressively the cats have gotten used to roaming around the neighbourhood but coming home at dusk. If not on their own, lured by cat treats.  

So Terry and I were sitting talking together and Toby walks in and drops something at Terry's feet. I looked and realized it was a field mouse.  Terry was all freaked out and let me deal with it "Since your kids had mice". Uhm. Yeah.  So it was a fresh kill as the mouse was still warm and rigour had not set in.   Of course he would gift it to Terry.  Toby is so fond of Terry, it's like his best buddy. Though he stunned that Toby would gift him a mouse.  Well Toby was returning the favour, by giving him a tasty treat!  I wonder how many field mice Ziva and Toby have caught so far? 

I honestly didn't think that Toby the pure breed born of 2 pure breed parents would ever be able to hunt. But apparently he and Ziva have almost caught birds and squirrels as well. Toby likes running up the big maple to chase after the squirrels.
