Title: Damn CATS!!
Post by: voodoo on February 04, 2011, 10:53:10 PM
Just spent half an hour or so trying to catch a bloody mouse the cats had decided to bring in and let go in the lounge...its very hard to hold a sofa up with one hand and try and drag a cat out from under it as its decided it would be a good time to dive under and try and get the mouse....two cats and I ended up catching it myself sheesh!...Voodoo....

We have a cat like that. She is forever bringing in mice, and we had some right old drama's trying to catch the live ones.

I have three cats, two of which are mousers but often bring live ones in and release them in the living room!

The other one just sits on a chair, watches the mouse run past and says 'I wish that mouse would slow down, it's making me feel tired' and goes to sleep.

But I have a secret weapon!  A box with a 'door' cut in it - I bait with a piece of biscuit (mice can't resist malted milk) and leave it near where the mouse was last seen - with a heavy weight on it so the cats can't move it!
Check the next day and there's usually a bright-eyed pointy face peering out at me!

 ;D When I first moved into Taz's cottage I discovered she's a cold hearted killer when it comes to rodents. She zaps them with an electric mouse trap then drops them in a bucket of water to make sure they're deaded. Several times I've left for work in the early hours to frind frozen miceicles in the bucket.
Don't ever upset Tanya.  :o

No he stays in there in the hope of more biscuits and cos he knows the cat can't get in there!  I guess.  It works anyway.
