He didn't seal the cat food bin in the garage, and when I went to fill the cat bowl today, there was a dead mouse in it laying on the top. The bin is FULL. I scooped the mouse (of course) and all the food around it about 2 inches in diameter and underneath the mouse. Good enough?? Or do I throw out the whole bin of food? (Which is about $40 worth of expensive kibble)!! I'm just thinking about the scene if you'd poured out that dead mouse in front of your cats. Wow, there's a prize inside! Or as the LOLcats would put it, "Derez a fud in mai fud." LOL, my thought exactly!! I also wondered how the mouse knew where it belonged (ie, with the other cat food)? Cats eat mice, so unless it's fairly decomposed (and therefore full of bacteria), I don't see why it would do anything bad to the food. How long were you away? I was away a little over 2 weeks. We also are having quite cold weather, so the mouse was rigid and frigid!! And no maggots. If there were, I would have definitely pitched the entire bin. After I removed the critter, I sniffed/smelled and practically nibbled on the kibble to make sure it was okay. Everyone is eating from the bowl, so all is well!!

You guys!! now you see why I don't like cats..they bring home all sorts of dead animals..too. But even with the talking about dead mice and rats around here, its still better than than ampf ..Jeez its stinky in there,,,like some dead rat is fermenting!! and bringing other rats..and they keep coming... But, harley, my luv... the mouse found it's way into the bin of food. AFAIK, a cat didn't put it there!! AMPF does suck, but without flames, it wouldn't exist at all! I KNOW the cat didn't put it there...I read your story... --------------------------------------- Okay now... are you grumpy?
