My Cat Got A Glue Trap Stuck To Him

Christina said:

is left open they like to go in there and sniff around. IMO, I'd rather see
a mouse stuck in some glue and put it in the trashcan then open up my panty
and see a smushed mouse (or decapitated mouse) any day! I have a really hard
time understanding why some of the posters in here feel sorry for the mouse.

Well, imagine yourself stuck in something you can't get out of to eat,
and you are slowly starving to death. Perhaps then you will understand.


One place where I used to work had a pest control company that used
them. One night I found a mouse stuck in it. It was crying so pitifully
I took a broomstick and broke it's neck with it. Since then I would
never use them, and made the company use quick kill traps instead - at
least while I was there. I felt so bad after that for a little while -
having to kill the mouse myself. Poor thing. I don't understand how they
can possibly be considered humane versus a bar mouse trap.

Thanks Sherry....I do understand what you are saying and I do apologize if
anything I said upset anyone in this newsgroup concerning the
mouse....(still bracing lol)....thanks for being so sweet about it though. I
should have been more careful about the post. Anyone else reading this I do
apologize and let's just drop it altogether and you all have a good night.

Christina

Done.
Hope your kitty's fur grows back and other cats don't laugh at him too much..

I am lucky to never have mice. If I did Isis or Jade would take care of the
problem.

I agree. I feel sorry for the poor mouse as well as the cat. At least
the cat
will survive. All animals feel pain and it's just plain wrong to inflict
it on
them. I agree that we don't necessarily want mice in our homes but this
is the
worst way to get rid of them...this or poison. The humane traps are best.
Of
course, I've never had a mouse either but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use
the
glue traps or poison.

Sorry to have upset you rrb.....I think I'm going to unsubscribe to this
newsgroup. I don't like to upset people and I obviously have done that to a
few.....have a good night and again I apologize for speaking about the mouse
about being inhumane.

Don't unsubscribe. We all learn something here. Today we've learned
that glue traps are cruel. I work with a Vegan who lent me a humane
trap when I needed one. It works pretty well. The poor mouse was still
terrorized because the cats were batting the trap around when I heard
the commotion and came upon that lovely scene.

Still, the mouse survived and, the last time I saw it, was heading off
to college. I suppose I should explain that that I live next to a
college and let the mouse out in one of the fields.

On another occasion I came home from work and Nico didn't greet me at
the door. That was always a bad sign but this time the problem wasn't
Nico. He was simply too busy playing with his new buddy the mouse.
Batting it around, throwing it up in the air. That sort of thing. It
was in a very bad way and was either dead or unconscious. It got a
burial at sea.

Not all cats know what to do with mice!!! I had a cat who would wake us
every night at around 2am chasing a little mouse around. When she cornered
it she'd let it go and continue the chase. We were finally able to get the
mouse into a container and let it go outside, but I don't think that cat
would ever have actually harmed the mouse (other than to exhaust and terrify
it!).

Glue traps are extremely cruel and I would never consider using one to
catch mice. I think this was a sign from the universe for you to find
other means of dealing with the mice.
