Mice

Then they can get on with reproducing!

Yoga , don"t be showing off !

Traps set last night with stilton and peanut , all gone but no mousie , himself is going to redouble his efforts now !

Posh bait! Stilton indeed

Grace !! LAL

Oh heavens, Maurice would have had a dilemma! He has a passion for cheese, and stilton is his absolute favourite.

Mr P and I daren't say the word "cheese" as Maurice will go to the fridge and sit there until he gets some.

We have to refer to it as "solid dairy product". Do sometimes get some odd looks in the supermarket.

Phoenix , does that mean he not going to winging his way to me now ?

Shame , had a nice basket ready for him !

I think mice are nice!

So do I! But not in my house...

Nonu if you had "solid dairy product" around, then I'm afraid that would take precedence over rodent control!

Mice
I think mice
Are rather nice.
Their tails are long,
Their faces small,
They haven't any
Chins at all.
Thier ears are pink,
There teeth white.
They run about the house at night
And they nibble things they shouldn't touch,
And no one seems to like them much
But i think mice are nice.

Phoenix , LOL

I must get round to putting some photos on my profile, Maurice can be persuaded to pose quite nicely if a bit of Brie is wafted around just out of shot.

The redoubtable Digby too, I hope!

Ah, yes, Digby! Very easy to photograph, providing you use a wide angle lens.

Just spent the weekend with a cat like that, phoenix. He's one of my family's cats, called Clive. Drapes himself over the back of the sofa.

Bit late - but, well done phoenix, he was born during that rugby tournament thing in the summer. Our littlest cat had 4 kittens, we gave 3 away and kept one (Kiwi) then the mum left home and the two oldest cats (who were mother and son) got really poorly had to be put down within 2 months of each other. So we went from a house with 7 cats to one with just 1, inside a couple of months.

Oh kitty that is sad! When we lost Clucky a few months back, even though we still had Maurice and Lily, it just didn't seem right, hence the acquisition of Digby Kevin Wilberforce Hudson.

Anno but has it ever fallen off the back of the sofa, as Digby did a few weeks ago?

Not in my presence, phoenix but it seems all too probable. Quite the laziest cat I have ever known. While they were away for a week, instead of using the cat flap, he went upstairs and peed in the bath!.

Just remembered summat funny. My little sister back in the 1950s got two 'male' white mice in a mouse cage, which she kept in the garden shed. Well, one male turned out to be female and little mouslets were born. Some escaped through the bars which were there to keep grown mice inside, and went next door.

The lady next door, who had no idea about my sister's pets, told Mum one day about her problem with mice in the house. She said " I wouldn't mind, but the weird thing is, they are WHITE".

Mum pretended to be surprised!

My own solution to mice in the house has always been - get a cat!!

An update on mice situation , none seen for three days ..

Fingers crossed , he has sorted it .

Yippee !!!!!!

P.S. Thanks for all your tips etc.

My daughter's cat brings mice and frogs and bats in through the catflap....

Don't you have to be very careful when it comes to bats?

Why? Bats are lovely. Particularly old ones!

I thought they carried rabies?
