Eric's Day Flashback - The Mouse.

This Flashback comes from January 2008 and is of Eric catching his very own mousie instead of relying on me. I hope the video plays as we don't seem to have it on You Tube.


When I was in the field with mum, I thought I heard something in the grass. It was a mouse! I listened carefully then I pounced. I caught it all on my own. It wasn't Flynn, it was me. And here's a video clip of me with my very own mousie.

See Flynn I can catch them for myself.

It has taken a long time to be able to watch videos of Eric again, but he was having such fun that it deserves to be shown again.

  7. Oh Eric, you did have a good time with that mouse. It must have made your Mum a little sad. It made our person a little sad too but such fun seeing you having such a good time. Take good care.

  12. Thank goodness you have the videos and such a treasure of pictures.
    Eric is sorely missed, never forgotten. One thing I see on Flashback Friday is that Eric lived life to the fullest, he loved and was loved and that is all any of us want. You are wonderful feline parents
    hugs madi and mom

  13. We loved seeing that video of Eric. You are right he was having such fun and it's good to be reminded of that. I only have a handful of videos of Abby as I didn't take many and I know the heartache you speak of when watching them. but I am so glad I have her meow on camera. So I can remember. I never want to forget and I want to be able to hear it again and again and again.

  17. We think the earth may have shook all over again!! Eric was such a fine cathelete, his mousie-hunting form was the BEST.

  24. Awesome Eric!It can be bittersweet to watch videos over photos because they are more real with sound and movement.I'm so glad you have these treasures. I wish I had more videos of Merlin!
