A new shrew on the block?

This shrew has been coming to the patio quite a bit and I've never been able to take his photo as he is just so fast, but today, he decided to make himself VERY visible to everyone.

Tabs is usually the first to notice any intruder and she usually chases them away. I think to her, it's all a game.

Bunny approaches but I call him back in a calm manner, urging him to leave Mr Shrew alone. Cleo watches.


I must say, this Mr Shrew is really brave, isn't he?


mini-P9020224

Bunny stops in his tracks and turn around. Mr Shrew is gone but....


mini-P9020225

...returns in no time.

Tiger is monitoring the situation from the washing machine and probably sending messages of peace to everyone.

Cow approaches now.


mini-P9020229

Oh-oh...


mini-P9020230

Tabs is watching from the shelf.


mini-P9020233

But Mr Shrew is not afraid at all.

I managed to coax Cow to leave Mr Shrew alone, so he goes bite the slippers instead.


Mr Shrew continues eating.

Our hunter, Cleo is just watching.

Cow checks out the bowl after Mr Shrew moves to the next bowl.

Oh no, Indy is here....is Mr Shrew in danger?


Suddenly, a fight broke out and Cow was seen chasing Pole out of the room.

Pole drinks water to calm down.


The catfight noise did not in the least disturb Mr Shrew. He continues nibbling on the kibbles.


Clickety-clack, clickety-clack...


I'm quite surprised that none of the cats chased Mr Shrew...


mini-P9020244

Aha...here's our answer - Tiger.


mini-P9020245

Even Indy did not chase Mr Shrew (he normally does).


mini-P9020249

Pole is a hunter, but she too leaves Mr Shrew alone.

Let all beings come in peace. The world belongs to all of us.

 I too did not chase Mr Shrew today. 


A possible theory: Did Mr Shrew hypnotise all the cats today?

They have a secret pact. The inside brood let Mr. Shrew eat peacefully and Mr. Shrew will leave them alone and not annoy them so much!
