New mouse time - Logitech M650L left-handed. The shape is ambi other than the two side buttons, and they're not too intrusive, so right-handed use should be ok too (I tend to switch when the carpals kick in).

They appear to have updated the dongle, so it doesn't just drop in with my other unifying devices. Good job I've still got a few USB slots free.

The accel curves are quite different to my current (G203) mouse, so a bit of getting used to coming up.

Mouse Hunt

I mentioned in a post yesterday that the cats were on a mouse hunt. They were going all kinds of crazy from room to room. Stalking for a while, chasing for a while, pouncing for a while. It was distracting and entertaining. I told Robin the Cat that if she caught the mouse I would give her treats.

Last night before bed I found that their endeavors were successful. There was a very small little mouse on our bedroom floor, dead as a door nail, and two cats up high on the furniture guarding over it. I scooped up the fallen rodent soldier and took it outside. Then I went to the top of the refrigerator and took down the bag of cat treats and gave our mouse hunters their reward. Good work, cats. Thank you for protecting our home. Guard cats.

If I had caught the mouse I would have taken it outside alive, but I knew there was slim chance of that. I was busy working and getting ready for today’s medical thing and I knew the cats were going to get it. This is the first time they have killed a mouse (that I know of) but it was just a matter of time. We live in the woods. Critters are a thing.

Thank you, mousers. Congratulations on a job well done. Also, thank you for leaving it where I could find it and for not offering it up like a present in the middle of the night or anything. Most appreciated. Maybe I’ll give you more treats today.

I got this new image done today. It’s inspired by fable, The Lion and the Mouse.

I’ve never done a fable before. And I think I really like them. There’s something simple, pure, and spiritual about them that feels a bit forced in fairytales and folktales. They’re clearly much more allegorical. And I think there’s a really strong place for that.

Maybe I’m just getting older? And tire of the antics of so many misguided humans in real life that I long for stories that aren’t ultimately about mistakes made by stupid people?

Maybe.

Regardless, I thought I’d share! Again, it’s in an Art Nouveau-inspired illustrative style. All by me in Procreate—no generative BS. This will be a greeting card soon.
