Our cat just plays with any bugs she finds until she's bored, then she merrily lets them go on about their way... I keep trying to explain "earning her keep", but she just blinks, meows, and leads the way to her food dish. Worthless pussy. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gemini 0 #28 November 4, 2005 In Houston the mice/rats are huge. I had one in a large rat trap that didn't die right away. He managed to crawl, dragging the trap with him, and fell into the gap at the top of a wall between the bathroom and a bedroom. I didn't think the smell would ever go away! I now tie the traps to a nail in the attic when I have to put them out. Thankfully have not had to use them since the dog ran away and I got rid of the dog food.

wartload 0 #34 November 4, 2005 Quote That D-Con that is suppossed to dry up the bodies without smelling? Bull! There is going to be some smell from decomposition no matter what! What's even worse, perhaps, is that flies often find the dead mouse bodies inside your walls and lay their larvae ... then you have rotten mouse stench AND flies. Saw an add the other day for a new disposable trap. It's round. You "wind up" the top & bottom parts to set it. When a mousie goes into it and springs it, the top unwinds snapped shut, closing in the mousie and (I presume) killing it. Then you don't have to look at a dead Mickey clone -- just drop the trap into the trash. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #36 November 4, 2005 Wanna borrow my cat? I left her 5 fake mice to play with before I went to Atlanta. Now I can't find any of them. I swear she ate them. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #39 November 4, 2005 QuoteYou are obviously not reading all my posts. I HATE CATS!!! Of course I read your posts, that's why I said you could borrow her. She's really more like a dog than a cat anyway. She's the only cat I've ever known who will bring toys to you, drop them at your feet and then tap you until you'll play with her.

ccowden 0 #40 November 4, 2005 The problem is, I am EXTREMELY allergic to cats. We are not just talking about sneezing and watery eyes.... I get terribly ill around cats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #41 November 4, 2005 Have you thought about buying a cat, Chris? How about a bunch of snakes and just let them run free in the house. I would highly recommend non-venomous ones though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #42 November 4, 2005 OK, hating cats and being allergic to them are 2 different things. I can't stop thinking of pussy jokes now.
