Hooray for Hazel

Ruby grabbed her morning newspaper and her hot cup of coffee. She then settled back in her recliner for her usual morning ritual. She suddenly had the oddest sensation that something moved across the floor, just on the periphery of her vision. Was it real, or was it her imagination.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkk!" she shrieked. It was a week later and her suspicions were confirmed. She had a mouse in her family room.

These were the events that lead up to Ruby making room in her home for her new family member. A tuxedo cat whom she named Hazel Ann (she has hazel eyes).
