Ha! I do wonder if Donald Trump has ever seen this? The mice are stuck on the wrong side of the border fence eying up the American cheese store. That's being guarded by the cunning "Sylvester" though and he's not going to just give it away! It's down to "Gonzales" to come up with a cunning plan to distract their vigilant antagonist but is he quick enough? That poor cat. The lengths and pains he goes to when he'd probably rather just have a nap in the shade. Moustraps, land mines - even a baseball glove might help apprehend his would be thief but... I doubt it. Did anyone else ever find this mouse just a bit too annoyingly smug? Good fun, this and as they say in all good carpet shops "underlay underlay!"
