Lily caught her second mouse today and brought it to Lynn alive, who then promptly trapped it under a box and went and got me to take it to the yard. As you can see, Lily stood guard duty until I got there.

It took me much longer than it should have to figure out that there was a log on top of that box in addition to the cat bed and laundry detergent which I got right away. 🤦
Had a stretch where Smudge and SweetPea brought me three or four a week for a few months. I got pretty good at trapping the little bastards under an ice cream container. Did crush a few by mistake, but overall, carried a lot of little rodents outside.
I've relocated and apologized to more mice than I can remember. Some did not survive the initial encounter and were buried, discreetly, on the grounds with an apology also.
She was proud of her accomplishments. My cat knocked the birdcage down, bird flew in ceiling fan and by the time cat got down, dog had ate bird and had blue feathers hanging out of his mouth. Cat was so PO’D😂
Yesterday my cat brought in one alive, it got loose and climbed up the shower curtain, and hid behind the vanity cabinet in the bathroom- for seven hours! So,after emptying the whole room I finally caught it w the help of raisins, a coat hanger and one empty toilet roll😄(don’t ask) Good Kitty🥰
We have two kittens in Orlando who like to sun on the screened back porch. They’re 50/50 fascinated/terrified by those little gecko lizards. Hunters they are not.

We only had a field mouse problem once and haven’t seen any more since.
I have a very minor case of PTSD now...
“Um… is that dead?”
“IS COMPLICATED.”
I trapped a mouse under a metal wastepaper basket and put a hard covered book — not a tome, but not a novella, either — on top. It escaped.
One morning, she fed the cat. Left room. And came back to cat & two rats eating side-by-side-by-side at the bowl.
Lily is a keeper!
