Scary story, happy ending: My daughter is going to a university back East, so I get to babysit Mickey, who happens to look exactly like the grey tabby drinking from the shower posted a couple weeks ago.

The other day I noticed a mouse had found the bird seed stored in the shed. Well last evening I was cleaning the shed and Mickey, being the helpful little guy he is was in there with me. When I finished, I thought he left with me, so I closed and latched the door. When he didn't wake me up this morning (see I told you he was helpful) I got to thinking. When I opened the back door I heard him crying. I had locked him in the shed all night where the only thing to eat was the poisin pellets I'd put down for that mouse, and of course the mouse hisself. I've been watching him all day, and I don't know if he got the mouse, but I'm fairly certain he's not poisoned. No thanks to me.

Thank you. {puffing up with pride} That's my kitty. He showed up on my doorstep as a five month old stray in spring of 2001. He's spoiled rotten now and life in my house hasn't been the same since.

Oh no! Glad everything turned out okay. We always try to remember to do a cat-check before we leave the house. We've locked her in the closet, closed her in drawers, shut the bedroom door to keep her out while we're away - not knowing that she had slunk back in when we looked away for a sec! They are quick and sneaky!

Thhe amount of poison necessary to kill a mouse is a lot less than it takes to kill a puss. (Thank God). That being said, you should still take measures to make sure that kitty doesn't get into the bad stuff.

My kitty vet book explains situations wherein a dose of milk, although not recommended as a regular dietary fixture, may ease the stomach in cases of an irritant. Help me, vet people; could it assist in a slight case of mouse poision?
