But my hubby could tell you the story of capturing a mouse in the Pentagon...and then sending it through the pneumatic tubing from one floor to the other. Just like a bank. They put the mouse in the canister and shot it from the basement to the 4th floor. Yeah, must have thrilled the folks up there. At least it wasn't the Joint Chiefs area.....Lynn Raye Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05823590040842807378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-12175149935876887702009-05-21T15:07:50.310-05:002009-05-21T15:07:50.310-05:00The audacity of those country mice to meet in your...The audacity of those country mice to meet in your kitchen....<br /><br />What's the farmer's wife to do?<br /><br />Three blind mice...Katherine Bonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14701961380138616355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-15442572237923291702009-05-21T14:06:01.551-05:002009-05-21T14:06:01.551-05:00I have seen mice in my apartment on several occasi...I have seen mice in my apartment on several occasions.

It was in our gameroom ceiling and we never saw it come down from there ourselves. Our two youngest cats went nuts trying to get to it (the 4 older ones could have cared less lol). I was afraid our 2 yr. old cat was going to get into our dropped ceiling (she got close) so we bought one of those enclosed traps - took no time at all. I hate killing anything but you do what you gotta do. That same cat kept looking for weeks after it was gone lol.catsladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375770995988927860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-86425768852572081562009-05-21T08:37:32.755-05:002009-05-21T08:37:32.755-05:00LOL, DG.

My cats would catch the mice, but I'd have to scoop the poor thing up and put it outside. The sadistic beasts would never kill the mouse, just break its spirit, maybe a limb or two, and play with it.<br /><br />Mice don't really bother me. It just the sudden shock of them shooting across the floor that gives me a start. When I worked at Hallmark in high school we had a couple mice. Every now and then, they'd shoot across the aisle from one card rack to another and you'd always know it. The startled cry of a shopper gave it away...Andrea Laurence AKA Smarty Pantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13518751514879244662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-39583009862562730322009-05-21T08:36:08.095-05:002009-05-21T08:36:08.095-05:00Wabbits.

The wascally wabbits are back, but since I haven't planted flowers yet, they don't have anything to nibble.<br /><br />We had a family of mice move into our first house right after we listed it for sale. Oh joy. And they didn't like the cheese I put on the traps. Wouldn't touch the bait til I switched from American to Mozarella. Must have been Italian mice. And of course I had to hide the traps when someone came to look at the house. Luckily we found where they were coming in and plugged it with steel wool and then caulked it.<br /><br />My cats always ate dry food, and I read that if you wanted to keep them as good mousers, you should feed them canned food once in a while. I guess the meatiness of it whetted their appetite for the real thing.Playground Monitorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07444337591281145863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18688033.post-70919631316667986332009-05-21T08:31:24.802-05:002009-05-21T08:31:24.802-05:00Stop feeding the cats.
