[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 418299, member: 84"] As you all know we have a mouse problem. And just in the past couple of days we discovered why.......I forgot that I bought some grass seed that I was going to put into a sealed plastic container......husband didn't buy the container .....I forgot the seed......(love my memory) and they've been feasting all winter. Lovely. Bruce is almost 3 yrs old. Only recently has he taken any interest in a mouse.....this after I bought him toys that look just like a mouse. But for all his effort......he basically stunk at it. Not for lack of trying. Evidently the mice are not happy that husband cleaned up and disposed of all their food supply.......now a bit desperate they're coming out into the open and our traps have been busy. Bruce starts running around acting crazy. I catch a glimpse of the mouse he's chasing.......a young one......but it's giving him a run for his money........he's darting this way and that and he starts batting it.........Then it's obvious he's as much playing with it as hunting it. So momma encourages him to Kill it Already! lol But I wasn't going to interrupt him because I really need him to learn to mouse.........otherwise I'd have snatched up the broom and whacked it. So I'm reading posts here.......and hear some squeaking then chomping noises......pretty sure he's eating it. I wait until he's done (also reinforces what I want him to learn to do).....and I finally found what was left........the tail. Ewww. Good thing I have tons of disposable gloves on hand. So proud of my furbaby tonight. He finally got his first mouse! Thank goodness.......now maybe between him and the traps we'll get this under control. ugh [/QUOTE]
