Cat And Mouse
Friends and readers. We all know the story we have all seen the Tom and Jerry cartoons, as the cat stalks the mouse in an attempt to overpower it. But what happens when the mouse turns the tables and fights back.
It is unexpected, for so long the mouse has been fighting to get out of the corner, running and hiding to avoid the clutches of the cat, looking for sanctuary in a world controled by the cat. But the mouse is smarter and has avoided the ultimate clash only it’s time to stand firm by outwitting and outsmarting the cat.
The cat only knows one way and that’s attack, dosen’t even contemplate that the mouse can or will be able to turn the tables and gain the upper hand. But thoughful planning and staunch resistance brings the mouse out into the open, to face the cat down.
This dear friends is where the cat shows his stupidity. His attitude is clear, now the mouse is out in the open and seemingly vunerable the cat can use his strength advantage to bring the mouse to heel and easily overpower it. But dear friends as those that think further than the end of their nose will realise brain will always overcome brawn, and the mouse is infinatly smarter, only the mouse didn’t know it or simply forgot it while trying to avoid the clutches of the cat.
So while the brawn tries the bull in the china shop method something that has worked for a long time the mouse sets about laying the trap. Once laid the cat walks straight into it almost lemming like refusing to consider defeat in any form, such is the cats brick like brain. The trap once sprung has only one conclusion the cat looses, and while at first refusing to accept defeat comes to realise the futitlity of the hunt which has become a downward spiral.
The cat may try to enlist the help of other creatures to enable him to enforce his will and may make minor headway but the script has been written and the mouse with it’s new found vigor finds a determination that never again will the cat try to control the mouse, the hunter becomes the hunted as the mouse exerts it’s will and uses it’s superior thinking power to banish the cat from it’s life breaking the chains of control as if made of paper.
