During his first days alive, Fridolin didn't have the start a little mouse could wish for. Before he was even able to open his eyes, he and his mother found themselves in the mouth of a cat. While his beloved Mum did not survive the attack, the little guy got dropped by the cat and landed on the floor. Fortunately, a kid witnessed what happened and rescued Fridolin. Since that day, everything changed. Some lovely humans became a new family for the little mouse and spoiled him with a hot-water bottle and special milk while giving him a new home. Fridolin grew fast and made the best of his second chance at life.
I was allowed to take photos of him two times. Once, before he was even able to open his eyes and the second time, when he had already grown a little bit.
Sometimes life gives us a new chance and Fridolin shows that it is up to us how we use it.
Be like Fridolin: Enjoy the little things in life and take some time to smell the flowers.

I cannot help but think that the photographer is posing a dead mouse on flowers for his camera - sadly, the mouse does not look alive to me
Hannah Assil (Submission author) 6 years ago
It is exactly the same mouse on every picture. He has a significant dark line on the head and you can't make a dead mouse grooming himself☺️ I'm sry you feel that way. On this picture he still had his eyes closed because he was so young

Luckily the cat isn't a wild cat and humans feed her every day.

Sooo....basically you took a bunch of pics of ananemic mouse climbing on flowers. Maybe good for one shot but couldn't you find a little tuxedo or something?

My cat read this, harrumphed and declared that one doesn’t give names to snack food, then asked me to pass the mustard. He wasn’t impressed when I told him that not all rodents are his to snack on, then gave him a Sheba treat.
