Chris CleaveYou are a mousetrap of a friend, all soft cheese and hard springs
About This Quote
This quote is a great example of the trickster nature of the Cheshire Cat. The "mousetrap" is Cheshire Cat himself, who sees Alice as a trapped little mouse. He is using his power to introduce her to the world of the curious and playful. If she were a boring person, he would not be so involved in her life or so willing to make her smile.
