I am a soft touch

I really am.

Waffles caught a vole today and let it go in the house. It's had the run of the
living room (sigh..) until Marble got it by the neck whereupon it was rescued
from death by Nathan who managed to get it from Psycho Cat From Hell and put
the now very shocked vole into the rescue box.

It's been in the box for an hour, undisturbed in a quiet, darkened room and
I've just been to check on it. Voley is alive and was sitting in the corner of
the box. He looks very cute. I've discovered what a frightened vole loves to
eat. Slices of soft, juicy sweet pear. Ever seen a vole's eyes come out on
stalks? Similar expression to me in a chocolate shop really.

Vole is stocking up on energy and liquids by munching on pear and also some
cucumber. Once he's had his fill I'll let him go in a quiet corner of the night
time garden :-)

All creatures great and small, Lady Helen loves them all! :-)

I'm like you. We had some mice take up residence under our house (but
not in it thanks to Oliver) and we were live traping them and letting
them go at a local park. I don't know if my poor husband wanted to
laugh or cry when I started dowering them in their new life with a
handful of sunflower seeds. The little guys were so cute!!

Years from now, there will be a Vole Urban Legend that if you are brave
enough to actually get caught in the jaws of a cat, and have lived a pure
and noble life, you will be rewarded by sweet fruits and crisp vegetables
like no vole has ever seen before beign returned to earth. Of course, if you
have been a *bad* vole, you'll just turn into kitty crunchies.

Could you get some of your mice to teach mine how to eat sunflower
seeds? They seem to regard sunflower seeds as unedible (because of
the shell), and I've been trying to teach them that they can be eaten.
I gave them sunflower seed lessons by partially opening some seeds,
then putting a bit of peanut butter inside with a toothpick, to entice
them to crack them open. They're beginning to pick up the idea, I
think, but they're still pretty clumsy at it, and usually end up
dropping and losing the seeds in their bedding while opening them.

Oops, my first thought was why would you be trying to teach mice to
eat sunflower seeds ;-) then I remembered these are the wild variety.
