Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005She caught a rodent!
of some sort! She hopped up onto the counter a few times within the past week or so. That is a huge nono area and she is aware of that. I thought perhaps she wanted some coffee. Anyways. She jumped again and I heard her. She wasn't prowling around and being a stinker. Willow was in full alert battle cat mode staring at a spot on the counter. I moved the toaster...she pounced and got something...I think it was either a baby mouse or a vole. I managed to get it from her mouth into a CoolWhip container and let it go outside...where it will probably come right back in. This is the second time in the 9.5 years that we have been together that she has caught something. The first time was on my birthday about 8 years ago. I'm just glad she didn't present it to me. Anyways,she is very proud of herself...I could tell by the way she was walking with that little thing in her mouth...I'm proud of her and told her so and gave her lots of pets...no kisses on the mouth though! This also means she is probably on the mend and feeling better. She's been vomiting her food for quite some time. I switched to more expensive brands which helped for awhile, but finally took her to the vet again, and have been giving her boiled chicken and rice until her other food comes in. Hopefully, this post will show up. Many of mine haven't shown up on my server, although you all may be seeing them. -- M~Elizabeth To thine own self be true > of some sort!

Persia is terrified of rodents. She refused to go into the kitchen one morning; just squeaked at me (I nearly tripped over her when she came to a screeching halt). There was a dead mouse on the floor. She wouldn't go in there until I removed it. Jill > > of some sort! She hopped up onto the counter a few times within the > > past week or so.

I think it was a vole yesterday. I originally thought it was an IBT (Invisible Bad Thing), now technically know as a greeblings. > Anyways,she is very proud of herself...I could tell by the way she was > walking with that little thing in her mouth...I'm proud of her and told her [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > -- M~Elizabeth To thine own self be true I see it!

You're lucky you could get it away from her. I'm not usually real successful at that, though I try. > This also means she is probably on the mend and feeling better.

I usually hope that Stinky will do what he often does, and pop the mouse into my shoe. ;) I then can grab it, run to the door, and flip the mouse out the door. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > I > > managed to get it from her mouth into a CoolWhip container and let it [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Hope she's doing better. Thanks...I really think she is. She is asking for lots of belly rubs, which she wasn't doing before. Makes sense if her belly was bugging her. > Katz > of some sort!

And we currently have a mouse or vole in our upper kitchen cabinet that keeps eating holes in the pasta and bean bags. I will not set a death trap, and have not gotten around to getting a little havahart. I wish one of my girls would get it if they could just apprehend but not kill! It would have to be Cheeky as Buddha is too fat to jump that high! >snip of own post > > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > I LOVE your sig, M~Elizabeth.

Mice and other little beasties really like peanut butter if you get around to getting one of these traps. I wish one of my girls would get it if they > could just apprehend but not kill!

I think she is on the mend. We got her dry food on Friday (after I started to drive off with it on the roof of my car). She loves the dry stuff and hasn't thrown up in 48 hours. As for leaving the food on my roof. I distinctly remember telling myself..."Don't forget that you've left her food on the roof of the car.", as I was putting the little man in his car seat. I was distracted by a Great Dane trying to get out the front door, when he was in the backseat, of a small 4 door car. The receptionist came running to tell me. AND...Ms. Willow decided that she had enough of chicken and rice and opened the bag up herself.
