Answer: Five



Question: How many mousing, ratting, predatory animals does one household need to NOT catch a live mouse that one of them has brought into the kitchen?

  2. They are saving it to play with later....either that or it's bribed them..or has magical powers over cats...or (all excuses used by our 5 when a mouse trotted out to say hi....actually I think they bring them in ..release them and wait for our reaction)

  3. I think it may be time to put them all on diets...somebody will get hungry enough to ferret out that mouse...

  6. Mine were never very adept at that, either. They preferred to play with mice under the dining room table.

  7. Patience Mama ... patience ... this is all part of their (our) sick & twisted game. The wait. That poor mouse is a goner unless you get to he or she first.

    We used humane traps last year and then released them a good few miles away, but Frankie caught three unfortunate ones who didn't make it into the Mars Bar oasis of the trap.
