Leopold I mentioned earlier had grown in popularitywith his main foe Saysheen. Only now Saysheen tried new tactics like perching atop the scratching post and staring up at Leopold's aquarium.
When boldness failed, since the mouse ignored her and continued to forage through his nest of straw and shredded newspaper, she would make a pitiful noise like a strangled mew.
Leopold glanced up, pretended he was interested in a scratch on the glass, and went back to whatever a mouse does inside its nest.
Poor Saysheen grew desperate. She acted as if she'd been weakened by hunger, and flicked her tongue out to demonstrate her coming demise should the mouse not comply with her needs.
However, Leopold was wise to her ploys and burrowed deeper into his nest, curled into a ball and slept for the rest of the day.
