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.

Very quick Kill.


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!

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
