The Demise of Fifi Mouse

Fifi Mouse is... was... sniff... one of Jerry's earliest toys. We had Fifi Mouse before we had Kurt. Fifi Mouse was even featured in a prior blog post, The Search for Fifi Mouse.

A few days ago Lew was vacuuming in the bedroom and accidentally (?) vacuumed up Fifi Mouse. At least we think that's what happened....

Lew knows that he ran over Fifi. He turned off the vacuum cleaner the moment it happened. But Fifi Mouse was nowhere to be found.

When Lew emptied the vacuum's canister, he looked for Fifi. She was not in the debris. He looked in the vacuum hose and in any other place that Fifi might be. Nope. (He later repeated all of these steps with me helping him.)

We came to the conclusion that the vacuum cleaner totally destroyed Fifi Mouse, leaving no recognizable trace of her.

Fortunately, neither cat really paid too much attention to Fifi. Her loss is more sentimental than anything.

Farewell, Fifi Mouse. Meow!
