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?
(A live mouse that is now somewhere under the kitchen cabinets?)
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)
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.
You need a Jack Russell! 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.
Alas, WV is going back on - I know it's hateful, but so are the robot spammers. Please please don't let WV stop you from leaving your oh-so-welcomed comments!
Rupert has started to worry about their fitness to be country cats!

ReplyDeleteI think it may be time to put them all on diets...somebody will get hungry enough to ferret out that mouse...
ReplyDeleteThey're havin' a larf aren't they?
ReplyDeleteBless 'em ! Stop feeding them for a while, that should concentrate their little minds!
ReplyDeleteMine were never very adept at that, either. They preferred to play with mice under the dining room table.

Find it quick. You'll get less for the house with a sitting tenant.
ReplyDeleteHeavens! They're not going to kill it . That's your job . You're the biggest , after all .
ReplyDeleteAw, but that little mousie looks so sweet in your picture. I think your cats probably thought so too.
ReplyDeleteBut it was a present for you! :o)
