[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 222976, member: 1233"] Our very old man Shadow died a few months ago. he was a very special cat. All we had to do was open the door and yell "Mouse! Protect Momma!) and he would come sprinting in. He ALWAYS stayed between the mouse and my mom - even if it meant it took longer to catch the mouse (or shrew - we have LOTS of shrews and they are MUCH worse, in my opinion). while Shadow was alive Sammy wasn't much of a mouser. Some of you may remember the day he lost a mouse - behind Jessie's soccer ball!!!! now that Shadow has passed on, Sammy is becoming quite efficient in mouse dispatching. Tommy will do it if ASKED, but you have to ask NICELY. And I do mean saying the actual words. He doesn't like to eat them, not at all - so he will give them up for a treat PDQ. Sammy seems to like to chew on them. We try not to let him because that is a great way to get abscesses and diseases. and he likes to give them to certain people. If he is mad at you, he will HIDE the dead mouse until someone else comes home!!! Actually, thinking back, we have had several cats who came when we would call out "Mouse! Protect Momma!" or even Protect Susie. Even our very ill Squeaker would find and kill them. Even several MONTHS after he went blind! I am glad you got the mice out of the house. To stop them from getting in, stuff very fine steel wool around the areas pipes and wires come into the house. And any other hole. And a way to help the heat stay in is to put insulators around the electrical sockets and light fixtures. You buy them at the store (even Walmart had them last I looked) and then you take off the outlet cover, put these in and put the cover back on. It is as simple as taking a screw or 4 out and then putting them back on. the first time we used them we saw a real difference in our heating bill. Hugs to the mousers, and to you! [/QUOTE]
