The photo above not only finds Cleo and Arnold enjoying the "crows nest", but also shows their view of the deck. They spend a lot of time watching birds and chipmunks scurrying through their view of the outside world. We do not let them go outside but Arnold must be watched carefully because he will dart through an open door if given half a chance.
We have not had trouble with Cleo trying to sneak out and that is why what happened yesterday was such a surprise.
Cleo was apparently watching the door as Peggy opened it to go out on the deck. Just at the moment the door opened, a chipmunk darted across the opening and Cleo was out like a shot. She was not able to overtake the chipmunk but when I finally caught up with her she was looking into some nooks and crannies where the creature escaped.
We got quite a laugh out of Cleo's hunting instinct but little did we realize there was more to come.
At 4 AM this morning Peggy heard some commotion and found that Cleo was chasing a mouse in the bathroom. It apparently came in when a door was left open too long. When I got there with the camera, Cleo was more interested in just watching this little guy rather than killing him as evidenced by this eye-to-eye photo.
After I took a few photos, I got the video camera and took about 30 minutes of video. I will edit that and post the highlights here in a few days.

Ha! Some mouser she is.
That's a great capture. You should caption it for I Can Has Cheezburger.
