A Tail of Mice

Cats are by nature hunters, beautiful but ruthless.
Last year I kept a tally of how many rodents our cats, Tigger and Fluffy caught.

Fluffy managed a haul of nine mice.
Tigger caught, killed and ate twenty.
Plus a wood pigeon, a rat (brought in to the house alive, oh joy!), a blackbird and a magpie.
Tonight Angela and I were eating our supper when I heard a sound I recognised; Fluffy calling to let us know he had a mouse.
Various noises off occurred, and when we next looked in the hall, this is what was left...
