Cats causin mouse infestation
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?! |

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. |

I'd be mouse-free if it wasnt for the damn cats! Has anybody heard of anything so stupid?! Yoda brought a small rabbit inside back in his younger days. Oddly enough, the rabbit was completely unharmed. He was carrying it by the scruff, exactly like a mama cat carries her kittens. We about never caught it. If it gets to be a real problem, you can always close your kitty flap and make them check their prey at the door. You can tell when they've got something in their mouth trying to bring it it. They have their head bowed down at a weird angle. Sherry |

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! |

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. |

How well I recall the early morning a cat jumped up on the bet, but instead of cuddling, I was treated to a loud "squawk!" in my ear, as the captive bird escaped. (Took me nearly an hour of chasing it from light fixture to drapes to window, before I was able to shoo it out the door.) Jo |
