I woke up this morning and found my cat chasing a mouse. It got away and now I will be a nervous wreak till I catch it.
-
dont worry if your cat is chasing a mouse he will eventually catch it,my cat caught a couple in the winter and i dont have anymore,this is the first year i had a couple must be a hole somewhere
-
With your cat knowing the mouse is in the house it is only a matter of time before the cat will catch it.
-
EEK! :-
-
Your cat will probably make a gift of this critter, dead, when you least expect it! Might find in near you one morning when you wake up or something. ;D
-
Don't you just hate it when one gets in the house. I go crazy until i know it is caught and disposed of they carry fleas and desease.

the best thing for a mouse is a cat

Check out Lowes for a humane way to catch the mouse. The poor kitty is going to go nuts trying to catch the thing. who knows maybe the cat chased it out of the house!

we live next to a field so it has always been a problem keeping mice out. we finally bought these little electronic boxes that plug into outlets for like 20 bucks each. we put one on each end of the house and haven't seen any mice since, and that was over a year ago. maybe you could try that?

my sister inlaw has a raccoon or really big rat she swears it a ghost that keeps getting in the trash and stealing her food and moving things but i found a big hole in the ducts and i think she visited by animals not spirits

Good deduction!! I don't think 'spirits' would be all that interested in stealing food stuffs out of the garbage! ;D

I already have 2 of those, but I did set some traps and have caught 3 so far I hope that is all of them. I told the cat it needed to earn it's keep!

In deed he will! And he will most likely offer it up as a gift hahaha !

How about and update on this mousey hunt situation... inquiring minds want to know! Yeah we are that bored... ;D
-
I will say this; I have watched cats when they have caught a mouse. They play with the thing before eating it. As long as you have a cat, the mouse will get caught, one way or another. In a cat's mind, it wants to know if it will get away and he will have to catch it again. ??? ??? ??? :wave:
-
If you see one mouse in the house, you can bet there is a family of them residing somewhere in the house. You may not have seen all of them, yet.
-
I'm sure your cat will get it, but I hope when he does you are not in bed asleep. They usually bring their "present" to their owners! Hope you don't find one in your bed :sad1: :cat: :cat:
-
if it was me i would get some one quilify to catch it
-
Has anyone mentioned that the simple spring snap traps loaded with an attractive food like cheese or peanut butter will put an end to a mouse? These are about the cheapest form of rodent control available I think.
-
Oh I hate the aggravation a little mouse in the house can stir. We too leave near fields so seeing mice wasn't a surprise to me when we moved in. However - seeing one running along the counter top did give me a fright one morning about a year ago. The little guy was fairly plump so he'd been in the complex for some time. I won't get into details as to how he ended up being removed. I get squeamish just thinking about it. A few boxes of deacon laying around the kitchen in hidden spots and we haven't seen one since. We did however here one the other night. Oh and hearing them gives me the creeps. With all the stray barn cat's outside I'm surprised there are a few that manage to slip in still.
-
I have not seen a mouse so far this year and hope I don't either. My daughter says her toes curl up if she happens to see one.
-
my advice with mouse in the house is to call a extermator to come and trap him

My advice is to buy traps which is much cheaper than extermator. Place cheese lace with a little rat poison and you have the end result.

Trust me, if your cat knows that mouse is in there, your cat will get it. You know they are natural hunters so if that mouse doesn't leave, your cat will be hunting it until the mouse is caught. Besides, you cats can be very territorial, they don't like other animals of any kind in their space. My cat had even alerted me of a bat before that was in a box in a closet. She would not leave from in front of that closet until I got that box down and investigated what was bothering her so yes, cats have great senses to catch unwanted creatures.
-
Field mice always try to find a way in when it gets cold. Its no big deal. They think your are their friends actually. If you see it peak out say hello to it. It will find a way out or the cat will get it.
-
Your :cat: the hunter will catch the mouse.
-
Oh my goodness, I really don't like for mice to be running around. Sometimes I hear them in the walls, and we know to put out traps. We had some baseboard replaced and they don't get in as easily now. We use the sticky traps and the last time we caught something in one of them, it turned out to be a snake, not a mouse. I have no clue why a snake got in the house or why it would even want to be in there!
Hmmm, I did this post backwards. I read the thread first and posted my comment before seeing what discussion board it was on. Suggestions???
-
i really don't like those little creepy things, i make sure my house is clean with know food laying around because, that is what there are look for food.
-
Try a squirrel in the walls! :BangHead: Cant figure how hes getting in, right now hes scrurrying around in the walls behind the bathroom. He gets out, and is gone for several days, then he comes back bringing in pinecones, I can hear them rolling around
-
I used to have a problem with mice, but my cats would catch them. Be careful if you decide to use some type of food as bait. You don't want your cat eating the bait. :cat: I am currently trying to figure out how to keep squirrels out of the walls. :BangHead:
-
Yuk! I hate mice. But if the cat knows it is in the house, it's days are numbered.
-
:cat: If your cat was chasing the mouse, it is only a matter of time. I am surprised that the mouse even entered your house with the scent of a cat but these are desparate times for everyone or being - so have patience and all will right it self with the mouse problem. Now if resolving the price of groceries was that easy. :cat:
-
if the cat was chasing it in the first place, the mouse will leave or the cat will get it.

A couple of winters ago we had a whole family, I do not own a cat but my dog kept barking after the lights when out. And one evening my husband saw the mom at my stove while we were in the kitchen, she was eating like she own it. It was snowing like crazy outside, but I made my husband go buy poison and traps. Within a week we found dead all the babies and the mom disappeared. i bought something at the store that shocks them so they do not come in anymore. And so far so good. Thank God

I thought of another mouse story - I won't name which big box bakery this happened in...but I was employed there at the time. Before I became a cake decorator I was working in the back of the kitchen. My best friend was a cake decorator at the time. I came in from my break after she had been the only one in the kitchen - she was freaking out. There was a little mouse sitting atop the multigrain fresh loaf of bread...night after night we would find multigrain bread loaves opened and bread dug out through the middle of the loaf...ah ha she had found the culprit. Well he was clearly a little mouse who valued nutrition. Another time the same mouse was jumping from one bread rack to another when one of the bakers walked in on it. I know they get in and even with regular bug and rodent treatment - the thought of ever eating anything out of that particular bakery - turned my stomach. I'm no longer employed there.
-
Mouse are smart, if did not catch it first place, it will be little hard on second time. :cat: will watch out for you.
-
This is why I have 3 cats! I live in the woods and mice are always coming in from underneath the house.
-
I put an ultrasound device to eliminate mice up in my attic...it seemed to work. The ones I've had are tiny little things almost sweet if you don't think of their rate of reproduction. They desrve a little space on the planet too, just not in our cupboards. All creatures great and small :dontknow:

If the cat can't catch it, you should call the "turtle man" from Kentucky. Have you guys seen "Call of the wild" There is a show and this guy known as the "turtle man" get catch any critters for a small amount of money or sometimes free if you are his friend. He's got one season on netflix. Check it out. He is not afraid of anything. Hehehehehaw! LOL
-
"call of the wildman" seriously... for a mouse? that is somewhat extreme for one. I believe if you give the cat some time there will be a "present" for you soon. Just think your on your sofa and are expecting company... that will be right about the time the cat will see the mouse scurry across your baseboard and the chase will be on. No matter if you want it to be on or not!
-
The sonic devices seem to work well. I keep 1 in the garage and 1 in the attic. I think they also discourage spiders.
-
I looked outside the kitchen window and saw a sight I never thought I would ever see: a cat with this huge rat in his mouth. She released it and it ran. I couldn't help but to laugh. This rat, after running so long, started bouncing up and down in the cat's face. I can't tell you if the cat managed to eat the rat, but it was a sight for sore eyes! :cat: :cat: :cat: ::)

LAST NIGHT THERE WAS A GIANT OPPOSUM ON MY BACK DECK JUST WONDERING AROUND.
-
I say the best way to battle a mouse now and forever is to get a cat (that's if you can).
-
Your cat will catch eventually.
-
Yikes! I would be scared of seeing a mouse. They can be hard to catch because they are so fast. I am sure you will be able to catch it eventually. I am pretty sure my dogs would be chasing that thing around the house.
-
Do not worry, the cat will eventually have him for dinner, one day. The mouse must come out for food, soon.
-
Living in a wooded area, I get mice all the time. I have 3 cats. My outside cat is better at catching them and she actually eats their head but leaves the rest at my door step.
The 2 inside cats will chase them and kill them but they don't eat them.
-
A mouse comes in your house mostly looking for food or a place to have babies. I hope your cat gets it before it does have any babies. Good luck in catching that mouse.
-
with 4 cats running around - a mouse does not have a prayer over here! gotta love that - cuz used to getting field mice - but now, no more of them... :peace:
