Here is a video of our cat getting the shock of her life when she tries to get our mouse. Look at the funny jumping gesture the cat makes.
The story in the video.
Our neighbour’s cat adopted us. Her name is “Mau Mau”.
I know we should not have fed this lovely cat. Feeding someone else’s cat is like giving sweets to their children. Anyway, that’s what happened.
The cat became our owner. She owned us, not the other way round. The cat was now our pet.
She started to bring us presents. Cats bring presents to their owners. Dead mice, dead birds, sometimes live ones.
She would saunter into our house proudly carrying her prize. We were horrified, but the cat did not understand. We often had to tell the cat not to bring any mice into our home.
One day the cat brought a live mouse into the house, but it escaped. We could hear the mouse somewhere under our fridge, but it was impossible to see it or find it. The kitchen furniture and fridge are “built-in”. There is no way to move anything. The mouse lived happily under the fridge for weeks but we could never see it, just hear it.
We left the cat in the kitchen, hoping she would catch the mouse. She couldn’t catch it either.
Eventually, we set a harmless trap to try and catch the mouse. The trap is a box- trap, with a one-way door. The mouse can enter but cannot exit. The trap does no harm to the mouse.
In order to watch what happened, I set up some Arlo cameras. (See below for info about Arlo security cameras).
It took several nights before the mouse went in the trap. The mouse could see the food (nuts), but could not get to it without entering the trap door. The mouse was very wary of the trap. Eventually the mouse went into the trap.
We put the mousetrap in the garden while we discussed what to do with the mouse. We gave it food and water.
We planned to take it into the forest to let it go free.
Then the cat discovered the trap, and wanted to get the mouse inside. The cat could not get the mouse.
Eventually the cat tried to squeeze her paw through the mouse door, but got her paw stuck. As the cat pulled her paw away, the metal trap made a loud scraping noise on the concrete floor. The cat tried to run away, but the metal trap followed her and frightened the cat even more. WATCH WHAT HAPPENS!
My wife heard the loud noise and came out to see what happened. You can see the cat looking very guilty.
We decided to take the mouse into the woods and let him go safely. Lucky escape Mr. Mouse!

This video was filmed by me using multiple Arlo security cameras. Arlo cameras are battery operated WIFI security cameras which can be activated by a movement. They work in colour in daytime and infra-red black and white at night.

Well this was hilarious to say the least.
Laying a harmless trap and letting the mouse go in the end was very kind.
I saw a thing moving in the background when the cat was playing with the trap and it made me curious. What was that bluish thing?
And btw
I think you should replace "his" with "her".
I think so! I agree! +1 :)
@syedumair. Thank you very much for spotting the gender mistake. Now corrected. The truth is I am never sure if it a boy or a girl.
We usually address a cat as a girl.
I don't know why but I have never seen anyone calling them a boy cat.
@syedumair yes, that so true cat's name in Nigeria are so so feminine in hearing.
There's one I know of, they call her jenny🐈
If you have a funny photo or video of her, you can enter the contest by @karlin
The details of the contest are in the above post.
Hahahaahahahahhaah, a male or female would do dear. Boy or girl are used for the humam race.
@syedumair Good day to you.
The bluish thing has gotten me curious 😂😂.
The poor network connection at my end has denied me in watching the the cat and the rat play.
The bluish thing is a Bosch robo-mower.
I found this video so funny and adorable also.
(1) I found the mouse so funny and cute. she is even more funny in the trap box while eating those food.
(2) When the Cat tries to insert its paw into the trap box it reminded me one of my childhood incident when I had a pet cat and she also used to act this way. Have look at the tail of cat while trying to get into the trap box, its really funny and adorable too.
(3) The theme of this video is so nice and a connection towards other creature and humanity is also being tried to established : at the end the mouse is set free and also the act of cat towards the mouse in the trap box is captured in this video which is funny and humorous and the background music added the perfect flavour.
(4) I love watching this short video again and again and this kind of video reminds our childhood days when we also act somewhat this way with cat or other pets also and if we capture those moments during childhood days and see it again when we get older, then definitely it gives a big smile on our face.
Thank you @swissclive for bringing back my old memories through this video and today I miss my pet cat sop much and also remembering a lot after watching this video.
Have a great day.
Dear @swissclive, thanks for sharing this and I am left with great nostalgia, God bless the works of your hands
For starters..
I had never heard of arlo cameras till now...
Good thing I stooped by.. I just learnt something new...
Plus the video cracked me so hard. I felt like I was watching a real life version of one of Walt Disney's creations...
Hahaha...
And the background music was the icing in the cake..
Can't stop laughing..I absolutely love it.
Thanks so much for the nice comments!
Thank you for using such traps.
Clever mouse.
Great! Carefully :)
For me it's read and see is nice and important. Although I do not know what Mr. expects. Mouse in the forest, but still happy that he did not understand the unequivocal outcome ...
I could not write a comment yesterday, although I wanted it as soon as the post came out. It's a pity. Thank you for the video and post!
I am very happy for the impulse that @karlin will receive in his contest of funny pets, on Friday we had an activity of my contest drcenando with @ @marsella-2017 it was all a success. the winner came from the capital to dive with us, tomorrow I will be writing the publication.
the winner of this contest will be very lucky.
It hurts that I can not participate, my pet is very ugly. hehehehehe
Your pet is ugly? Maybe a tortoise, or a lizard?
hehehe we have turtles at home, and flopy is the only dog we have. I haved a anaconda and a python.
the pet I'm referring to is a donkey that lives in the country, unfortunately I can not take it home.
What I have noticed is that Cat's among animals ALWAYS, tend to own their owners (Ironic, I know right?)
It's funny how the cat gets scared by what itself does while trying to drag it.
My girlfriend has a cat at her place and the cat has owned all the members of the family, She is eye candy for everyone and everyone gives her so much attention, it's unbelievable.
This is a picture of me with the cat(uploading the picture with permission):
Wow...The cat must have been salivating for the mouse's blood. What a struggle.
This is true about life. We don't always get what we want. Some things just seem unreachable, no matter how much one struggles.
Nice video @swissclive. I love it, and I laughed and laughed.
I really liked the video so much that it was very funny especially when the cat jumped
I also liked the statue of the cock .
Why did you allow the mouse to go? He can go back, and if he does not return, he will enter another house. I think you should have given it to the cat.
Mouse is a very long way from any building in the forest. I think he was eaten by an owl.
I do not think so
I prefer to let the mouse eat it instead of releasing it
I also have a funny video of a cat playing with a mouse , I will participate in this challenge and you will like the video .
Thank you for this wonderful video I mocked the ridiculous cartoons of Tommy and Jerry.
I found a cat with a piece of karton and sat on it and looked at his neck for a while. Maybe the mouse went out of his mind and stayed in his hole.
Hehehe, I never knew cats were friendly . I have always known them to be sadists. Seeing that it got attaches to you guys simply coz you fed him is surprising . A friend of mine told me of how the got a cat that was a lil grown and the cat refused eating the food given to him. It kept looking at every one and by the next morning they didn't see him again. It disappeared .
I wonder how the cat manages to bring back live meat to your house without having to eat them. And how so you guys tell the cat not to bring back those to your house ? Do u just speak English to it? Hehehe that's funny.
Hahahahahhahahaha how did you guys live comfortably with a mice in your house? I would have packed out if I were the one. Lolzz....you guys should have just called those who could kill the rat or fumigate the house . Why did you want the rat alive?
Hahahahahhahahaha this is hilarious ...cats can fear ehh
Owk this got me confused...my wife? @swissclive I tot your are a lady. #MouthAgape
Oh boy! That made me laugh real hard! The cat sure is a very curious, very persistent one! Lol! Very humane of you to release the mouse. Soo very sweet actually
This is absolutely amazing and very funny too. I found that you are very generous from this story as you adopted the neighbour's cat (or cat adopted you same thing ..lol) and you feed them . Even you gave water and feed to the mouse who annoyed for many days. Thanks very nice read.
This is so Funny. . . . !
What we are doing here is Also like Cat-mouse Game, Are we going to have two fictions Setting here, Trying to wait out of the fiction
LOL
Never had an experience of cat before tho, but i heard they are great pets.
All the while the mouse lived "happily under the fridge" what did she eat? That'sliving in hell. Lol
What did she eat? It’s a mystery to us too. The fridge was in the kitchen.
Lol.. What a funny cat. pets are one hilarious companion to have.. i still wonder why I don't have one yet. Hopefully gonna get one in no time.. Preferably a cat also.
And I really love your cat's name
Its soo hilarious....i practically laughed my ribs out...so funny.
I kind of learnt something a while back that when a cat owns you it bosses you in your own crib
hahahaha very funn1 keep it up Thanks for sharing this funny video I think its time to laugh I wish you all the best
Oh “Mau Mau” such a funny cat. My love for cat though!
About 37% of American homes today have at least 1 cat.
@swissclive Hahahahahha funniest thing I've seen on the internet today. I hate cats tho, prefer dogs. Dogs make good funny videos
That's hilarious! Thanks for sharing this moment with us! I secretly filmed one of my sock drawers one day because I kept finding socks draping over the top of the slightly open drawer. Turned out... it was the cat. He would reach in and pull out each sock, one by one. Hours of fun for him! I wish I still had that video. 😃
At first I felt pity of the mice but it became really interesting after being read
It's really interesting as watching TOM AND JERRY
Lolz
In Siam, the cat was so revered that one rode in a chariot at the head of a parade celebrating the new king.
quality video @swissclive I am amazed at your ability so to interest a cat :)
I have a Siamese cat and a normal black cat at home. So these guys do not interest. One of them likes to watch birds and tries to talk with them. Honestly, when the cat tries to talk to the birds - it looks funny.
I think that as you put your video, thanks to the use of technology and how you brought your cat, you have every chance to become the winner of the contest :)
Good luck:)
well i love the video .. i dont want that much just playe that redoom le
lol...so even cats get frightened ..really funny
Oh wow. This is so hilarious. I just kept laughing all through. Mau owned you. Funny
That's serious high tech, almost on some skynet level. Wondering about the mouse though, going about its normal routine unaware of the eyes watching hehe :D
Funny stuff, really. Now the mouse got stories to share with its folks and friends alike. He would narrate stories about his crazy adventure, his close shave with death at the hands of the monster cat.
Lol :D and its poor mama would wrap him in warm embrace.
As the saying goes, curiosity killed the cat!
I’ve had a lot of very sharp, intelligent cats over the years. Most cats are usually very resourceful. Looks like Mau Mau got into a fight with a trap she couldn’t possibly win! Let’s just be thankful she didn’t damage her claw after she got it hooked into the trap!
Is that a mouse trap.... lucky mouse, here they get more terrifying traps like this one
Image source
Looks like the traps there are designed to keep the mouse alive. Lucky them.
Over here, don't be a mouse and expect to stay alive after being caught with one of our traps..lol
That was one lucky mouse, he now has some interesting stories to tell when he gets back home :)
I couldn't be at ease knowing all that time a mouse was in the kitchen, I don't know how you guys did it.
Interesting!!!
The mouse would have been killed instantly in my country.
Cute lucky cat having escaped the trap
The increase in the prize fund is a very noble act. Your video is great. After reading the description, I advise everyone to watch the video from the third minute.
hahahah that was awesome!!! im a cat person, so i had to click on this!
Hahahahahahaha that is one lucky mouse. The cat grew impatient and got stuck and later yanked it off. I definitely love the views to this arlo security camera. This is a first for me to see a "scare cock" or i didn't see that right?
Yes, it is a giant male chicken - a cockeral you spotted - bigger than a large dog. It scares away anything small.
Wow! That's the first time i am seeing such. Thank you. 😊
Cats don’t have sweat glands over their bodies like humans do. Instead, they sweat only through their paws.
Hahaha, The cat and mouse are very funny.
I can only imagine what would be going through the mind of the cat, "Is that not the mouse I brought in the other day? " She wanted to claim her spoils back!
In my house there are 5 cats, all children of a Siamese cat that we have also kept for a few years, and none of them have ever brought me anything, haha, it must be because they do not like me very much, a pity.
It is quite interesting that they have released the mouse, I confess that I personally wouldn't have thought of doing that.
Cats are definitely a great pet, and it is as you say, we do not choose them, they choose us.
@swissclive that was too kind - "Catching the cat 🐱 in the trap and letting it go". If I should relate that to a life scenario is like monitoring a thief and finally getting him red handed on the spot and letting him go with no harm.
From how you started the story I think the "his" in the sentence should be replaced with "her".
Are these honest comments or comments for upvotes
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hahahahaha i once watched a cat catch a mouse and refuse to kill but only released it and then chase and step on its tail, it was so funny.
This video reminds me of that moment.
Oh and real thoughtful of you to consider releasing the mouse in the forest after trapping it, the world needs more people like you.
This is hilarious! I laughed aloud :):)
Anyway - that's so human and kind of you to let the mouse go and live it's life - most people won't care for animals, especially for animals regarded as annoying and harming like mice, when actually they only want to live their life and and survive, and they really can't cause us much harm.
You make it all seem very funny but I can see your kindness between the lines, especially when you actually gave the mouse food and water and spent your time taking it to the forest.
You have my respect.
@swissclive I'm so glad about the sbd incentive on @karlin pet contest.
I'm loving every being of your support.
I am definitely joining that contest even if the odds are against me.
#funnypets
#funnypet.
😄👌
I am so happy to see the mouse is safe now, that cat was a little bit surprised when it caught its claw in the trap, it makes me think of crypto investors who panic sell when the market loses value :))
You can not choose the cat as a pet, cat chooses you as a owner! Funny post by the way, thanks for sharing your story with us :)
There is a friend you have surprised me, you are an excellent sponsor, wow, I was surprised by your video, it is great, and thanks for the impulse of my contest, I did not expect this, I am very grateful.
What software did you use to put this together?
This is very well done.
I used the standard video editing software available on a mac. It’s free software. Its called imovie.
