I went to the grocery store yesterday to do my weekly shopping. The check-out lady is a friend of ours--knows us well. As I took 14 cans of cat food and a 25 lb. bag of kitty litter, then a mouse trap out of my cart, she started to giggle. Then she started to laugh. I wonder she didn't get the hiccups!
Marlin you keep those kitties fed way too well. That's why you needed the mouse trap. I understand completely why she would have found your purchases to be really funny. In you only needing one mouse trap your kitties must be doing somewhat of a good job catching those little furry critters.
There has to be a mouse story in there somewhere. I quite sure there are more mice on a farm than the cats can keep up with. It's a matter of math, mice can multiply while cats can add. If you only need one mouse trap you are doing well. A good safe mouse indicator is four sunflower seeds placed in a diamond shape where you suspect mice. If the seeds remain, no mice. If the seeds are gone, mice. Your cats don't like sunflower seeds do they? Jerry
Well, now I'm not embarassed, I'm ashamed :'( . When we got up this morning there was a dead mouse on the kitchen floor. Feliz the huntress was on patrol last night! Now she is laying curled up on the pillows of the guestroom bed, accepting my humble apologies. I'll be sure to mention her hunting prowess the next time I'm at the grocery buying catfood and litter (but no mouse traps!).
Maybe she thought if she didn't get busy and catch that mouse she would end up in the spare chicken pen. It's much cozier on the pillow in the sunshine. dooley
Obviously the mouse trap worked - just not in the way you expected it to. Maybe Feliz thought, when she saw it, that she'd be put out to pasture if she didn't pull her weight.
