Save the Chipmunk, Pee Your Pants Laughing

Blood thirsty cat from hell follow up:

So last week I could see Millie sitting in the grass taunting a confused Chipmunk. Steven and I walked over and Millie was just toying with the little guy, tapping him with her paw and laughing maniacally as the Chipmunk scurried in a circle. I gather he was not very bright as he didn't actually RUN AWAY but then he was probably in freak out mode.

So Steven tries to distract Millie and ends up between her and the Chip. Well, Chip saw his chance to get away and scurried right up the back of Steven's leg! I started laughing so hard I could barely breathe. It got to his back when I managed to catch a breath and laugh "it's climbing up you!".

Steven did a quick little dance and Chip fell to the ground then proceeded to follow Steven all around the yard trying to climb back up. Being a smart dude he led him towards an actual tree and Chip ran for his life up the trunk.

Well, Millie has been witnessing all of this and got to the bottom of the tree and I thought she had lost track of Chip when .....I swear it happened so fast..... in the blink of an eye she DARTED up the tree! She was up pretty far and she got the chipmunk in her mouth by the tail and then backed herself down the tree all "look at me...I'M AWESOME!".

I was impressed. She is quite the hunter....and a bitch to all woodland creatures.

But then we felt bad for Chip so when Millie dropped him on the ground for more play time I scooped her up and brought her in the house.

Chip headed for the hills and I'm sure she caught up with him later because she's JUST THAT GOOD.

Unfortunately, I did not have my camera handy when all this went down but here is an artist's rendition:

I promise not every post will be cat related!!
