Mouse commits suicide
-
If you have mouse infestation the safest way to deal with it is by getting a cat The bonuses are : -loving companion just don't pet him on his tummy for long -The environment doesn't suffer -the mice will sense the danger after some time and go to your neighbors if they don't have a cat -for some time you don't need to worry if your cat is fed, but is good if you provide her with additional food. -in the cold winder nights your feet will be worm:)

I find it more fun if they bring in birds... especially those that are a bit bigger (like a blackbird) and release them inside :laugh: We had to collect the feathers in the whole appartment and that damn bird was too dumb (or probably scared) to realize that a window only lets through the light...

Three cats that stay mostly in, one cat that only comes in to eat and a dog. We have very few issues with... unwanted wildlife like rodents (mice, voles, moles, rats) and snakes. In living here for almost 15 years, I've only seen one large (2 foot plus) snake.

What about coyotes? You should not let your cats out during the night. Its dangerous.

Many neighborhood dogs; so they stay scarce. And as for the cat that only comes in to eat? He chooses to live outside and has done so for 3 years.

I prefer gathering feathers to entrails... :laugh:

This is his(or hers i didn't encounter such name before) way of saying : i am bringing you food human slave, you suck at hunting.

Probably is, but it's the way he drops it, looks at it, looks at me, slaps it, and strolls off with his nose in the air... :laugh: Then I get to hunt the damn thing down and fish it out of whatever tiny hole it has found before it poos, breeds, or dies...:mad:

Friend had a cat that would catch snakes and bring them to the front door to show off.

Cats are indeed smart animals. If he really likes to live outside you cannot do much for him I once saw what a man had done for his cats. He build a large cage (it sounds bad but its for the good of the cats) in his back yard and inside he made few wooden places for the cats. The cage is connected with his dog door and the cats walk though a small tunnel( made from the same material like the cage) and reach the inside of the cage. That way they are protected and outside.

Friend has two indoor cats and a mouse problem. Cats watch the mice but given it is a old house the mice do not need to come where the cats are.

Worming tablets as a precaution: it costs me £1.70 per month to worm Dij, and £2.50 per month for flea treatments. You couldn't feed Victoria Beckham for that! :laugh:

Don't forget several days in the hospital on IV anti-biotics after the cat bites you in protest for trying to shove a pill down its throat. :doh:
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies. -- Sarah Hoyt

He's pretty good - grab cat, open jaws, insert pill, swallow, and gone. We've had some that involved full biking gear, including the boots and helmet...

Oh, cute little Dij he(or she still not sure) is training you into hunting. Such a good pet.

Dij is a boy - it's "short" for Digital: when we got him as a kitten he was either ON (and doing a Wall-Of-Death round the room) or OFF (asleep and you could do anything to him you liked and he wouldn't wake up) He is a member here and visits occasionally: http://www.codeproject.com/Members/Dij-The-Cat[^] He predecessor was also a member, but he developed a virulent strain of Feline Infectious Peritonitis and we had to let him go. Bill[^] was a lot more active here, since he sat on my keyboard a lot more than Dij does.

My mom's cats have mostly fallen into the too stupid to realize there's a pill hiding in the lump of cheese category and the full leathers would have been a good idea category. The multi day inpatient course of IV antibiotics wasn't a hypothetical; for a while they were threatening to go in surgically to clean the wound out better. :omg:

Yeah, cat bites can be really nasty - there are a heck of a lot of bacteria in there and the teeth are "designed" to pierce deep, like little hypodermic needles. If it isn't cleaned properly, it can cause serious medical problems... http://www.vcahospitals.com/main/pet-health-information/article/animal-health/wounds-cat-bite-injuries-to-humans/63[^] And some people kiss them on the "lips"[^] :omg:

Mom works in healthcare, so she knew what needed done. Cleaning puncture wounds is elephanting hard though and she obviously didn't get everything that one time. :sigh:
