notes
- Roxy's mouse was the only one with catnip in it and she destroyed it within 5 minutes. Observe: the catnip pack is in her mouth, mouse guts are all over the floor, and the sad little mouse carcass is by her feet.

thoughts for the future...
- I'm going to try knitting with a strand of button-hole thread held along with the yarn - maybe that will reinforce the mouse a little so it can stand up to 10 minutes of kitty play.
