Wanted: a cat who loves chasing mice (short term!)

Recommended Posts

My housemates and I have a mouse infestation in our house in North Dulwich. We love animals so don't want to harm them, so we're on the hunt for a cat who might want to come and stay with us for a few days!


We have experience looking after cats and will shower it with love. Please let me know if your cat might be up to the task :) thank you! Alternatively we would consider adopting a cat if that is an option.


Thanks,


Shelley

Oh Callie

Have you never watched the old cartoon "Tom and Jerry"

Obviously the cat will get into a whole heap of trouble chasing the mouse and getting outwitted by it including scrabbling in the air, upsetting spike or running into ironing boards.


This will result in much mirth and amusement for Shelley and housemate thus making them forget their rodent problem.


I mean it's not like Thomas Cat will actually catch Jerry Mouse or anything 😾🐁

Do not feel bad about killing Mice.


Mice are not nice.


A Cat will NOT rid your house of Mice if you have them.


There is seldom one mouse. Apart from Droppings which you can See, they are incontinent.

Mice dribble urine as they travel along. A single house mouse typically deposits several hundred tiny urine droplets in a 24 hour period.


They visit places where food is stored and Pee.


Mice caught using 'Humane' traps and released will return or infest someone else's home.


Do NOT use Poison.. They will disappear and die somewhere where you cannot find them.

They will Rot and Stink. they will get infested with Maggots. You will then be infested with Flies.

Big ones... Dozens of them.. Yuk


Set Wooden mouse traps. with Peanut Butter / Grated Chocolate as bait.

Double Bag the mouse and put in GREEN Bin

Whereas a cat ripping them apart after painfully 'playing' with it's catch is not a kind option!

    • I am trying to find out about people's experiences of the 4+ and 7+ assessments. I am a teacher and have a wealth of experience tutoring for theses assessments (including my own son), but it's always good to keep on top of things as they always make tweaks to them. TIA! 
    • "You have no idea why"   To be fair Sue, it's blindingly obvious to anyone who has a conversation with anyone who isn't a Corbyn supporter. And even some who liked Corbyn (like me initially) found him somewhat flaky even at his most popular But let's say you are right and I have NO idea why anybody might not vote for him. They still didn't vote for him. He lost two elections. The second one badly (and strongly predicted but the stubborn old goat wouldn't budge so we we were stuck with Johnson and another 3 million PMs in the 5 years that followed) So even with ZERO evidence, we have our eyes and ears and brains But we do have evidence   https://yougov.co.uk/politics/articles/27022-their-own-words-why-voters-abandoned-labour
    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
