The Day of the Dead Mouse 
Has your pet cat ever brought a dead mouse into the bed? Read 
on to find out more. 
My mom was feeling exhausted, it was pitch black in my 
parents bedroom. In the big fluffy bed my mom and dad were in 
their pajamas, sound asleep. It was a usual night at the Jones house. 
My mom heard scratching on the door, “Scratch! Scratch!” and let 
my cat Leo inside. It was about 2:00, or 3:00 a.m., the people who 
where there were my mom and dad, also my pet cat named Leo. Leo 
jumped on the bed in between my mom and dad. My mom felt Leo 
playing with something... 
“Aaahhh! What is that?! This is so frightening!" my mom 
exclaimed. There was the smell of blood.... Leo brought a DEAD 
MOUSE into the bed! My mom was feeling scared and disgusted. 
“Bad Leo!" my mom shivered. 
“Meow!” Leo said sadly. 
“No Leo, go outside," my mom yelled. 
"Meow." Leo murmured. 
My brother and I were snoozing in our bedrooms. "What am I 
going to do with the dead mouse?” My mom wondered. My parents 
had to carry the dead mouse out of the bed into the trash. 
I used to have another cat, named Walter that would bring 
dead mice to the door. Leo thinks that a dead mouse is a treat for us. 
Leo always brings dead mice, or chipmunks to the door.... But not in 
the bed! So be careful when you let your pet cat inside in the middle 
of the night. Wait till I tell you about the go cart accident when my 
brother almost rolled over a worker.... I hope you enjoyed my story 
as much as I did writing it! Thank for reading!
