Whoever wanted one of my cats. You can have it . For free. Actually I will pay you. This morning I got up early and it was chilly , put on my uggs and thought one of them didn’t feel comfortable. After a few minutes I put my hand into the boot to get out the “stick” which turned out to be a mouse tail, with a whole dead mouse attached. I threw it and screamed SO loud I’m surprised nobody called the police. DH came rushing out of the bedroom when I screamed, then laughed so hard he almost fell over, sputtering “ cat has given you a present” in between tears of hilarity, and promptly went back to bed. I don’t like him anymore. I like the cat even less.

Nope nope nope nope One of mine likes to yowl and make a fuss because she’s caught us a… toy mouse, sock or fluffy pen end belonging to the children. It is a bit sad, and we do congratulate her and make a fuss of her, but the alternative is far worse. Nope nope mice nope. Been there, done that. Yuck.

I should hire the damn thing out. He is only allowed out for about half an hour and catches a mouse every time, since we moved rural. There’s a plague apparently. They wont last long with him.

Actually, doesn’t someone have a mouse problem in their house? My cat would clear them out in a day. He is a genuine “mouser”. Super evil as when we catch him ( he normally hides with his mousies) he is gleefully flicking the still alive mouse from one paw to the other. That cat is super bad. Edit - word

Cats are nasty. I have declared NO more cats, once our current 2 cark it. Mind you they are both ridiculously healthy, and barely leave the house so will probs live for years. Then again I hate mice more so maybe the cat isn’t that bad. I’m not sure now. All I know is I have sprayed my gorgeous uggboots with a can of Glen20 and I’m still not sure I can wear them again.

I was actually thinking about this the other day. I completely appreciate the devastating effect that cats can have on local wildlife but watching the news footage of the mice bouncing into the drum traps made me wonder whether the rat population wouldn’t cause the same kinds of issues if we got rid of all the cats.

Bloody Cats!
