Meow!
Back on Mad Housecat Mode. I just saw a mouse. After plugging a hole the other day. Now I will be tearing apart closets and hunting, hunting, hunting.
I thought I got all of the mouse holes.
I have very little use for rodents, especially when they invade the house.
Makes me want to have a cat in here. Sort of. Not having cat fur all over the place is a good thing, though. And we really don't have room for a cat anymore.
And, speaking of cats, our dear departed Hep Cat was a pretty useless hunter. One time we watched him stalk a gopher. The gopher reared up on its hind legs and made a little noise. Hep Cat (who was a gigantic cat who would take on dogs and racoons), ran.
Perhaps a pet hyena would be better. I don't know where they stand on mice, but the neighbor's dogs would have to be on much better behavior if we could menace them with a hyena. Of course, once it was done with the mice and the neighbor's dogs, what would we feed it?

Quite possibly the best $10 house-related purchase we've made. We had mouse problems for years and years, and this thing put an end to them instantly.
