I saw something in the kitcken this morning.

[Liability]

Set the sticky traps

Mice are getting intelligence the Peanut Butter and traps arent effective as they were!

I laid the sticky traps and yes it is human but these blighters shouldnt be trespassing - the only issue is that theyll struggle so hard they rip there own legs off on the glue pad - but I dont care - they shouldnt be there in the first place

[Bagpuss]

You sure it wasn't a rat?
If so, I'd get onto UB40.

Good idea, he could bore it to death with one of their songs

[oracleslave]

Here I am babe, oooooaaah
<rat>

Alas, not always true.

Some cats are quite rubbish. They bring in the mice as symbolic gifts for their owners, and promptly drop them whilst alive. The rodent usually then hoofs it under the heaviest piece of furniture it can find, and subsequently dies from shock. Time passes. Rotten stench is in the post.

True story - My brother's cat (being of the rubbish variety) brought a mouse in and dropped it alive on his kitchen floor. He grabbed a dustpan to catch the mouse in and his missus grabbed the cat. I quickly shut the door to the lounge and the mouse ran over my foot and disappeared.

"Where's it gone?" we said, looking around in bewilderment.

"It's run up my jeans", I yelled, taking them off sharpish, and throwing them on the floor. We looked at my jeans, no mouse emerged.

"FFS! It's in my boxers!!!!" Hand in, hurl mouse out. Quick check of Steven and the Twins to see all is well. They are, so jeans back on as quick as you like. No hope of retaining any dignity, my brother and his wife are in bits, but manage to scoop the mouse up and out the door.

And the cat? Sitting on the kitchen table licking her paws.

See? Rubbish.

Beautiful!

Yes, a cat catches mice as it does anything else, i.e. according to its desires and not yours. They don't need to catch them to eat (you feed them) and they don't care whether you've got mice or not, so they just do it for a bit of fun. That may or may not get you clear of rodents.

A terrier OTOH will take exception to them and will not stop till the last one is gone. Unfortunately it will try to dig for them if need be, so is more suitable for outdoors.
