Cat and mouse game

I happen to interrupt a cat and mouse game while riding to work this morning. A game with a real cat. And a real mouse. The cat looked at me and while it was distracted the mouse saw its once in a lifetime opportunity and ran away. I could not hang around to watch the rest of the game, and maybe that was good, cause it seems that the outcome of these matches are influenced by the spectators and that is simply not the way it is supposed to be.
