The Kitty is on a mouse hunt!
 

There are mice in my garage! Good thing I'm not squeamish about it. Finally put out a live catch trap last night and had two of those fuzzies in less than 4 hours. Took them out to the woods behind the house and dumped them out.

With the 7 cats running around my house, I know they aren't inside. At least it's just the garage.

Well you hope they are not inside. Last time I went mouse hunting I used a 9mm. But I was living in the middle of no-where.

That sounds bad hope You'll work it out.

you have 7 cats? wow, id hate to be a mouse anywhere near your house


hehe im a poet and i didnt know it

My chocolate lab is a great mouse catcher. We had a bad ordeal with them last year (hole in the house wall we were unaware of). Those little fuckers will make houses in the most fucked up places..like the inside of a brand new pair of snowboard boots..

7 cats (2 of the adopted into my household after my son and DIL broke up), 1 shih tzu, 1 African grey parrot, 140 gallon saltwater aquarium. My son also has a 6 foot+ ball python, 5 bearded dragons, a dwarf monitor, 3 gargoyle geckos, and a chinchilla (in the basement).

But then.. I have a 4500 square foot home. There's room for everyone.

6 foot+ ball python vs any mice......I got 200 I would like to put on the python and what is the over on mice eaten?

I've had them in the garage twice now, both times in winter. We found a nest with babies in a paintball vest the first time.. The garage needs a thorough clean out right now, but I can't get to that until I'm healed from surgery I had 3 weeks ago. So the live traps will have to suffice. I can't do the snap traps or the zap traps, I'm too much of an animal lover. I won't do the bait, because I don't want to find dead ones all over. I'll just play catch a release.

I miss my zoo... slowly rebuilding

chow/border collie rescue, golden/shepard rescue, tabby rescue, and a princess cat...

I think we need a monkey, and a river dolphin...

These mice are too small for the python and he doesn't feed it live food anymore. He gets frozen medium rats. Even if we found a rat, we wouldn't feed it to the python. No telling what it might be carrying.

My son used to have a bunny downstairs too. When rabbits get frightened they thump a hind leg to warn the others. Years ago when the python was small (he's about 6 years old now), we were cleaning in the basement and the bunny was thumping up a storm. About 15 minutes later I noticed the snake wasn't in his cage. The bunny had been warning us that the snake was slithering across the carpet in front of his enclosure (python was way too small to do a bunny at that point, but the bunny didn't care). We found in him a hollow leg on a foosball table. He's only gotten lose one other time over the years. We couldn't find him anywhere. Knew if he got upstairs (main part of the house) that the cats would let us know). My son figured he'd curled up somewhere and gotten too cold and died. My older son refused to sleep downstairs during that time. We put out heat pads to try to draw him out at night, etc. Finally one night about 2 weeks later, he slithers in front of my son's tv while he was playing Xbox. I went out and got a new taller aquarium with a tighter lid.

I'm not afraid of mice and I'm not afraid of pythons and boas either.

Don't be so sure about your inside cats living up to their duties.

Once our two cats were sleeping and a mouse thought it was okay to play inside. It wasn't the cats who caught it.

I still feel bad about using my DH's tennis racket...but glad I didn't use mine:upsidedow
