My outdoor air conditioner stopped working, and the technician found that mice had gotten inside and chewed the wires. Some wire insulation is made with soy oil; maybe that was the attraction.

I’ve heard that mice can get in your house and chew the wires on appliances like your stove, which can cause a house fire.

Cats are essential companions when you live near a wooded area.

“Cats are essential companions when you live near a wooded area.”

Right!
I’ll just go wake up my useless 16 lb. part Maine Coon Cat
and show him where I saw a mouse...

He catches them..sometimes.
He walks around with one in his mouth, then plays with
them until he gets bored, then let’s them go!

I think he and the mice are exchanging money under
the kitchen sink.

I can almost picture him and the mice punching a clock
at the end of their shift, like the coyote and the
sheep dog in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons!
