Just be glad Stinky doesn't do what my DH's cat when she was a teen
and young woman, the oft-mentioned Puss Puss, did. There was, as was
common there and then, a screened back door that was held by spring
pressure alone. An enterprising cat could grab the door with his or
her claws and pull it open enough to gain access.

Puss Puss would go out, get herself a mouse, kill it, bring it home,
and lay it on Lynda's pillow. Then back outside for another mousie.
Some days there would be four of them lined up. Lynda went through a
lot of pillow slips.

PS: How many mousies do you think Stinky could fit in a pair of your
shoes?

And what about when Frank thought he would wake Meowmy up with a little
breakfast in bed? He came and dangled a dead vole in my face at five in the
morning.

Aaawwww! What a sweet little kitty-man! (That's what I call my boys)
Breakfast is bed is always such a treat.

Unfortunately, mice may have taken up residence in your house, but it
sounds
like Stinky is watching for that. However, it's also possible that field
mice are coming in from outdoors. I grew up in a rural area, and we had
this problem until we went through the entire house and stuffed steel
wool
in every crack and hole we could find. You must literally "scour" the
house
and fill in even the tiniest hole because mice can gain entry through
remarkably small spaces. Don't forget to look high (such as around light
fixtures in the ceiling) and low (such as openings around plumbing under
sinks or in basements)! Mice can't chew through steel wool and it is
flexible enough to completely fill a hole or crack, so it is superior to
other "caulking" materials.

Umm, that was a rhetorical question, but thanks.



Yo're welcome. Actually, I knew the question was probably rhetorical, but I
still thought the information might be useful. ;-)
