Mouse commits suicide

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:

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.
Microsoft ... the only place where VARIANT_TRUE != true
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.

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:)

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:

You would think a cat would solve the problem, wouldn't you? A few years ago, my parents had a rat problem. They also had upwards of 2 dozen cats. The funny thing is that the cats would always act as if they are starving*, yet only a few of them would try to catch some rats. * They didn't. The greedy bastards just liked stealing food from each other.
What is this talk of release? I do not release software. My software escapes leaving a bloody trail of designers and quality assurance people in its wake.
It's also possible the cats are simply a bunch of wusses. I had a complete wuss cat, he once ran away from a mouse trapped under a colander. Then I wound up with a few half feral cats, those animals knew how to tear up a mouse, and the walls, and the insulation, and the carpeting... given the choice I would have taken the rat problem.

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...
When I bought my house, the previous owners couldn't get their cat into the carrier to go with them. They said they would come back for him, and warned to stay away from him "he's a killer". He turned out to be the sweetest cat... Fast forward, we kept finding live birds in the house. Some hiding in closets, some downstairs. We thought they were flying in through the chimney or something. Yeah, it turns out the cat kept bringing them in. It was probably hilarious to watch both that cat and I chasing after the birds seeing who could catch it first. The cat finally learned his lesson and started catching smaller birds. The feathers and what was left was not much fun to clean up.

Yeah. Never send a can opener to do a tiger's job, as the cats usually say. :)
