Alter Ego kitty dreams of tiger chasing mouse

Alter Ego  Oil on wood  6" x 6"  SOLD

One time we brought home a treadmill that had been stored in my Mother's barn.  The treadmill carried a passenger...a mouse who made a mad dash across the kitchen floor upon arrival.  Layla the cat who had only a vague interest in the treadmill -saw the mouse and pounced.  There was no thought and no befuddled consideration.  She went from sassy pants to predator in a split second.  It was pure animal instinct at its finest.  My husband snatched up Layla and tossed them outside. I'm afraid it wasn't a happy ending for the mouse.
