Mice.

Strange thing is, I've got an open cat flap [cat flap without the flap that is] for the dog [which makes it a dog flap without a flap]; what I mean is I've got a hole in the wall leading to the garden that's been there for years, but I've never before had a problem with mice coming into the house, which made me wonder if there was a nationwide mouse problem? When the kids were little we had them in the village hall where playgroup was held, and they got into the drawers and everywhere. In the partners flat, they took the buttons off his mum's dressing gown which was hanging up in the bedroom and moved them into the sofa where thay had a nest under the cushions. It was SO Beatrix Potter.

Argh! That would freak me out!!!! I can cope with the dead bodies in the traps but not a live one in my pillow-case.

My husband found one in his pillow case - after his siesta!

Not a cat! Ours catches them outside, brings them in and lets them go! Think he is a very kind, caring cat and obviously worried about the poor little things being cold and alone outside

One of the people I spoke to this morning has two cats! I'm always scared with the traditional mouse traps that someone will accidently touch one or the dog might get her nose in it. In fact, you'd think the dog would deter the mice but they seem to be co existing quite happily!

A cat!

Old-fashioned mouse traps are humane and effective. Properly set up, no mouse caught in one knows a thing about it.
