Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / January 2006My cats and the mole
I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the past with mice, bunnies, chipmunks. I had to pick it up and throw it out myself. I wonder if the cats were afraid of it. Isnt it unusual for the cats to not attack a rat-sized animal? The supposed mole: http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4eg5.jpg http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4ep4.jpg My husband and I looked at the picture...maybe it looks like a baby kitten to them? Or, maybe it smells different? Moves different? Probably not any more helpful than where you were :) Leslie >I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really > interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4eg5.jpg > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4ep4.jpg >> The supposed mole: > > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4eg5.jpg > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4ep4.jpg Wow, that looks like a pretty big mole. I actually saw one today outside where I work, but it was much smaller. I'm surprised your cats didn't go after it. I know mine would have gone mental. >>>The supposed mole: >> [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > outside where I work, but it was much smaller. I'm surprised your cats > didn't go after it. I know mine would have gone mental. Now since moles live underground, I imagine that they wont spontaneously leave the grass, climb onto a wooden porch, and then into a house through an open window. So maybe one of the cats brought it into the house and got bored with it and let it go? > I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really > interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the > past with mice, bunnies, chipmunks.

I love my cats and treat them very well. >I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really > interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4eg5.jpg > http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4ep4.jpg I've just done a little search on moles and was surprised to see that they can grow to 8"! I've only ever seen ones half that size. It's interesting that this "beast" was found in your home. The only animal of that size my cat has ever encountered are squirrels and she's never gone after them. I don't know for sure, but have a feeling that cats normally don't go after things larger than a certain size. >I found a mole (?) running around in the house, and my cats were not really >interested in pursuing it and attacking it like they did in the [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] >http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4eg5.jpg >http://i1.tinypic.com/mm4ep4.jpg That little bald tail grossed them out and they didn't want to get near it. How did a mole get into your house???

He brought it in because he enjoys watching little creatures be tormented and ripped apart, silly.
