Cats causin mouse infestation
"223rem" wrote in message oups.com... My idiot cats bring live, unharmed mice into the house from outside, and promptly lose them to the many small hiding places in the house. Every now and then, I notice one of my cats getting all tensed up listening intently by the fridge or other nooks and cranies in the house. So thanks to my cats, now I have mice living in my house! I'd be mouse-free if it wasnt for the damn cats! Has anybody heard of anything so stupid?! The stupid thing, dickhead, is that you let the cats roam. HTH. |

Please, Jill, let's not start up the old indoor/outdoor controversy again! Opinions seem to be quite evenly divided here, and neither side is likely to convince the other. My apologies, Evelyn. But I'd killfiled this person a while back... did you read the newer post about leaving his cats alone, unattended for 4 weeks????? Sheesh. |

wrote: Sure have! When mine were able to go out, they brought in every kind of small critter, almost always unharmed. Some of them got loose, some I took away and released outdoors, and some they killed and ate. The ones that got away on their own didn't stick around long with seven cats roaming the premises. A long time ago I heard a commotion at the front door and when I opened the door to see what it was the cat chased a mouse into the upright piano. I left the front door open and closed the other doors to the living room. Eventually the mouse left. At least I never saw or smelled any more evidence of mouse, living or dead.

Yeh: it's people going away for a month and leaving a window open so the cats can go in and out and bring in more mice. MLB |

I had a couple who specialized in "bringing 'em back alive", too - only they chose those little grey California fruit rats - mice are smaller. I once had one living in my portable dishwasher (surviving happily on catfood) for MONTHS, until I moved and the disturbance of having the dishwasher carried from the house flushed out the rat! Stinky pretty much has a catch-and release policy, too. They simply are not as much fun dead as alive.

Let's see, my cat's catch & release scheme has treated me to: Rabbits Chipmunks Mice Squirrels Lizards Toads Slow worms Siberian Hamsters (AKA rats Various birds .... Of these, chipmunks are the trickiest little suckers to recapture, and I swear I can the cats laughing at my feeble hunting skills :-) -- Nik Simpson |
