I realize that if you have one mouse in your house you probably have at least 2. Whoever heard of a lone mouse? :)
So should I be shocked to walk into the kitchen and see Maggie with a mouse hanging out of her mouth? Well yeah! A freaky looking site. I just turned around and left the room. Not the most mature way to hand things huh?
I decided to just nature take its course. Yup the next day I find both cats sitting and staring at the poor little creature. It was still alive! But it didn't look so good. I thought it was near death and got it up in a dust pan. I took it and thew it out in the yard. It landed belly up and didn't move. Good it's dead. Or is it? I look out of the window a few times and it's still there laying belly up. Then about an hour later it's gone. Did it not die and get up an make a run for it? Or did the neighbor's cat get it? Humm.......
I hope to never see a mouse hanging out of my cat's mouth again! So weird and "horror movie" looking.
Got word that my cousin left her husband of some 20 years. She said it had been coming but the "straw that broke the camel's back" was last year when she accidently burned down the house. Yes, you read that right -- she burned down the house, to the ground, totally, everything gone, poof. And her hubby won't forgive, forget, ect......
S didn't mean to burn anything. She had something on the stove and she and her husband was talking about the tractors or whatever and they went outside and forgot about the burner on the stove......somehow the pan caught fire and before they knew it the house was on fire. They live in the country so it took a little while before the fire trucks got there and then it was too late.
I say the bigger idot was the husband. Why? They had just built the house and didn't have insurance on it. I have no idea who, what, or why, but I say husband was working making the money and therefore he should have been the one to make sure they had insurance. Well I guess it was partly up to S also. I just feel so bad for her. Hey she's blood relative and the husband isn't so I have to still up for her! LOL

That sucks for your cousin and her husband. Sorry to hear that they (he) couldn't move on, and yes, had friends have a home burn down (killing one pet with it), that's not easy, either. Mice don't tend to last too long with cats around:) Your home may be rodent-free before it gets too cold (but sheesz, wish they'd KILL the things, not torture them). And, flaxseed oil, hmmm, in your other entry but I'll try to remember next time I'm at the store. I've heard good things about it previously, also. I hope it's helping you. -- Robin
Must be something wrong with me, I love those little field mice.
Too (two) funny about the mice. I know I know I have a cruel streak but I just crack up when our cats get one. I hate those critters and I live near a river so everyone gets them. We have two kittens and two more on the way. Y'know dogs can be pretty good mousers too. Years ago our malamute would kill them and present them to my oldest as a love offering on his pillow. Rich didn't like it much...but he didn't complain so long as I changed his sheets.
My heart goes out to your cousin....I know what its like to lose everything in a fire.....I had an uninsured apartment fire when my kids were little (single moms can't afford insurance....). I can't believe her husband...what a jerk. Not like she was cheating...
Did you miss me? I'm back.
