Because we feed the birds, there are a variety of small warm blooded creatures who live on the fallen seed. Once in a while they make it though the old crumbling cellar walls.

Erica managed to catch Willie as he ran off with a captive. It is Willie’s job to keep the house clear of vermin and he takes his job seriously. The greatest thing a cat can do is catch a mouse, at least as far as a cat is concerned.

I try to rescue any creatures that I feel might have some life left in them. I then transport them out to the cemetery and hope they have enough sense not to return. I imagine that by the time I get home, though, there won’t be anything left to rescue.
