That could pass for my cat Idiot any day. Thanks
My pleasure.
I saw on the Discovery Channel(I think)that when in NYC, you are never more than ten feet away from a rat.
Yeah, they do that. If they really like you.
I opened my eyes one morning and saw a dead bird on the other side of my pillow. A gift!
Hey, the cat could have eaten it himself, but he wanted me to have it...
Large, nasty, fully equipped cats will solve your problem.
Cats live for this kind of thig. God made them so. HooYah!
My neighbor's cats once left me half a squirrel, and I thought they hated my dog. Maybe it was a peace offering.
We got our "Tabby" from the Los Angeles Animal Shelter. They did not charge us, exept...
They made us pay for shots, an ID chip, and neutering. In all it was $65 dollars to bring him home. Oh, and another $70 to cover the fees to the vet for the kitty cold he got from the shelter for his first anti-bitotic shot and oral anti-biotics afterwards.
Other than that... he was free.
Using blink code is really obnoxious. I thought that was disabled on FR.
Only three cats here. Likewise, no rats, chipmunks etc. - but boy howdy - do we ever have parts!
"The first one's always free!"
A whole squirrel means "I love you."
Half a squirrel means "I was full before I even started eating this thing."
It's a quagmire. The Health Department should redeploy to Westchester.
How is your kitty, any news?
Thanks for the tip. I'll give that a try when I go on vacation and the only water sitting out is in the cat's domain. (The dogs will be kennelled.) Considerate of the mice to dispose of themselves outside, too.
Heck, I didn't have to buy any..........they're very easy to acquire..........in fact I'll have a few to give away come June :)
We're still trying to come up with a better system for getting his eyedrops in. He doesn't like it :~\ But he's doing good, thanks :~D
I believe it! We read a case in law school, from the 1940's I believe, where a man working in a vending machine company was told to clean a used machine that was brought in. He started scrubbing the machine with a gasoline-soaked rag and was slopping the gasoline on the machine, the floor, and his clothes, when a rat, also soaked in gasoline ran out from under the machine. The rat ran by an open-flame space heater, promptly ignited, then ran back to the safety of the machine! POOF - machine and worker burst into flames!!!
You can't make crap like that up!
BTW - We call 'em "sea stories" in the Navy, and they usually start with "This is no sh**..." ;-)
Ouch. Hope the guy wasn't too badly toasted.
I have a cat who likes mice quite well and considers their little heads and brains to be a delicacy. - That being said, my only experience with a mouse in the house was probably 15 yrs. ago. I had bought a Hav-A-Hart trap and put it in the pantry where I had heard a mouse scurrying around. I had just set the trap in the pantry when I heard it being engaged. I picked the trap up and carried it outside to the woodpile well away from the house. When I opened it, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse, frightened and sweating with huge field mouse eyes looking up at me. So, I turned her loose in the pile of barnwood, where she lived for a long time. I would deliver bits of cotton, carded wool, cheese, nuts and other food - which would be gratefully taken by Mrs. Tittlemouse for storage and use.
Yes, I realize there are those of you who were hoping I would say that I had stomped Mrs. Tittlemouse until there was nothing but a greasy spot; but I didn't, and now her descendants are poised, as we speak, in hordes, ready to invade YOUR pantry and possibly even take over your whole house! Eeeeeek! It was a nice memory.
