Old George and the Mouse

Ever since my old cat died (age 19, March 12, 2001) I have been
experiencing an occasional mouse problem. Well, they're back. However,
I suspect not for long. They've taken up residence in the kitchen
stove. Old George has parked himself in front of it, intently staring.
From time to time he goes up and fishes under it a bit with a paw.
Then he walks back and forth, sniffing at the base.

Looks like I've got a new mouser.

He's going to be a mouser for sure! My bootsie was doing that out in the
garage, under a workbench. I looked under and found a weird nest....branches,
twigs, tools, some of the dog's toys, yams and pecans. Turned out to be a
packrat nest, one of the biggest rats i ever saw. If Bootsie hadn't sniffed it
out, I'd have not found it for a long time.

As for worms, if he had anything big I'm
sure I'd have seen it by now. God knows
I've cleaned up enough of his poop.

Not so. There are many things that aren't visible to the naked eye.
There really is no reason you shouldn't take George to the vet, as has
been recommended to you for *months*. Until you get a clear picture of
his overall health via a vet visit, stool check and bloodwork you can't
assume anything.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."
