It's Caturday!

I love it when cats are smarter than people.

Ping - remember when Druscilla got “walled in?”

Seal the house, buy 15 or 20 of those bug fumigators, and light them inside. Problem solved. (Some redecorating may be necessary).

While stationed in Germany many years ago, we lived in base housing apartments which consisted of three floors and a common basement. If I could remember correctly, there were 12 units, thus 12 families in each building. My daughter’s two hamsters got loose, and were in the walls.

I had to alert the 11 other families that if they see little rodents in their quarters, it might be our hamsters and not mice. We never did recover them!

Not a particularly good idea.

A decaying cat somewhere inside the walls doesn’t smell very nice, and can be surprisingly difficult to locate.

My daughters hamsters got loose just days before we sold our house and moved out. I have often wondered how that played out.

[1rudeboy]

You missed the joke. There would be no walls left standing under my plan.

“My daughters hamsters got loose just days before we sold our house and moved out. I have often wondered how that played out.”

LOL!

My three-legged gerbil (the other gerbils had performed an amputation on a broken and dangling leg) escaped and was not seen for weeks. We finally found him in a bucket in the basement that had been used for tie-dyeing.

He dyed blue.

The new owners were rich Iranians, just moving to the US back in 1982. he he! I see her ever once in a while but she doesn’t recognize me.

How about a cask of amontillado?

I hear cats in walls like that, if they can’t find a corpse to gnaw on...

How do you manage to have the PERFECT jpeg for every occasion? You must work for Hallmark. ***hugs***

Borrow a live-capture trap from the local animal shelter. The only food put out should be in the trap. The cat will be trapped when hungry.

Alternate solution. Get a dog that is small enough to get into the space but large enough to “worry” the cat (perhaps a Rat Terrier.” The dog should chase the cat out.

However; if the dog and cat both refuse to leave the wall...
