It's Mouse Season!

They come in in the Autumn when it gets cold. Leia has been on mouse alert for a few days, and got the first one last night; about six feet from where I was sitting. managed to get this pic by sheer luck!


WARNING. this is a rather graphic pic. so if you're tenderhearted about mice, please don't look!

Re: It's Mouse Season!

What, and ruin Leia's fun!??? Seriously, I believe we can get them, but never bothered. The mouse was dead when she was playing with it; I would have tried to take it away if it hadn't been.

Buzzie, she never gives them to me, but always runs to show me what she's caught. For an indoor cat she's a great mouser!

Hey, can I borrow Leia for a few days we have terrible problems with mice in the barn and even in our cellar and our two dogs are useless at catching them

I've got one, I can't say I'm all that impressed, allegedly they work best if installed before the mice arrive, I put one in the store room, so far no mice but it's hard to know if that's because they have been dissuaded from entering or because they haven't worked their way up to the store room just yet

Re: It's Mouse Season!

Losos, I don't think she could come: I know you have a quarantine for dogs, not sure about cats. She's probably love clearing out the cellar!

Re: It's Mouse Season!

They come in every Autumn and she clears them out rapidly. Great fun for an indoor cat. Hope I don't sound too callous or hardhearted, but I don't like mice in the house.

Thanks, Azz ... sheer luck! Shot a half dozen, couldn't believe I'd gotten that one!
