LOL - it's marvellous when they do that - never get tired of watching it!

I've mentioned this before, but it's worth mentioning again, and just to prepare yourself for when he gets into full throttle:

'Creamsicle Corn Going Crazy' on Youtube.

Mindblowing! I'm surprised mousey wasn't flattened!

And that's a treat worth waiting for. I'm lucky in that mine always strikes and coils, so feeding time is always fun. I never imagined anything that usually sits so still or cruises around so slowly could suddenly turn into a ballistic missile.
