Mice and Murder

I took my mom's cat to the vet last week and I was telling Dr M about my cats and the mice.  I was totally shocked at what she said.  Are ya ready?  She says "I use humane traps and then take the mice to someone else's property and let them loose.  Then it's their problem."

Has she lost her freaking mind?  Ok I don't use mouse traps or poison because it just seems like such a horrible way to kill something (yeah, like being "played with" by my cats isn't horrible), but to catch a mouse and then unleashes it on some unknowing person?

What is the point in using a "humane trap" if you are just moving the mouse so someone else can kill it?  Is it me or is Dr M crazy?

I have a creek behind my house and a small wooded place so I think that is were the mice came from.  I don't know how the heck they are getting in the house.  My other cats never hunted for mice so either I didn't have them before or I just have better mousers now.

Spike TV has a great new show.  However it is hard to catch!  It seems to never be on but somehow I catch it once in a while.  It's called Murder.  It is sort of a reality type show.  They take regular people and see if they can solve a real murder.  Some of the episodes I managed to solve before they told who/what/how.  The site has full length episodes (I just found out) that you can watch: Murder - SPIKE Powered By IFILM.  If you like shows like CSI you will love this.

I also just discovered that A&E's site has some great games:  A&E Television - Games.  If you are into the CSI type stuff you will love the Crack The Case game!  And for some laughs (and work out that eye hand coordination stuff) try the Tag The Toes game!

Have you read my past entries on how my husband killed a mouse our cat caught?  With a bb gun!!  I'll never let him do that again.  We also have woods and a creek behind our house, so I think the mice will always be with us.
