Wife has outside cats they have 3 insulated houses even a 3 tier A-frame with swinging doors that was given to us. 7 cats I think, I just flattened one with my trailer the other day it was too dumb to move. I find turds yesterday then she sees one dart out from the back of the TV we set 3 traps last night then this morning a triple every trap had a mouse in it yikes.

I had a couple walls pulled down recently to fix a leaking waterline but 3 mice just like that seemed excessive out of the blue I’m sure the weather forced them in but it’s free bait for me. I think sometimes the cats hunt mice and then bring them back and lose them around the house in the decks and landscaping.

Well it’s on now will see what I can rack up, I think this it maybe the forth time in 25+ years we had mice running around but they won’t last long now.

Hit them hard! Trapping is trapping. :}

You might be on to something there. I have often watched them play with rodent for 10-20 minutes or more before killing them. I'm sure a few get away.

Quit feeding the cats

Got them in the basement again, every winter I get some...so far 5 deer mice and 6 house mice....the house mice are a new addition, it's usually just deer mice, but,....no new captures in 3 days.....

It’s claimed a well fed cat will spend more time and energy hunting than a feral cat, cats hunt instinctively but if they hunt to survive they don’t hunt just for fun. I hate house mice, glad I haven’t had to deal with them for 40 years.
