Oh, what cute kitties! They don't look hungry...that's why the mouse looks like a toy to them. :-) Peanut butter in a trap works well...we live in the country and just captured 10+ that way. Fortunately DH took care of 'anything mouse." They were in the outside storage room. Of course, you have to make sure the kitties are safe if you put out traps.

unfortunately no pix is displayed on my screen, is this the case with anyone else?

Your cats are too cute, they look like they are fascinated with the little fury creature. My cats are real hunters, the barn cats bring me prizes all the time, pieces of mice, moles, chipmunks and unfortunately birds. I can't keep from looking at it, darling picture. (I agree with the live traps so you can take the mice for a long ride to the country!)

Such a cute picture. Those could easily be my boys, too. Maybe cutting back on the bibbles, would inspire more interest in the mousies. Yum........

good grief....I would never go back in the bathroom again!!! I have a ridiculously silly fear of mice and I would have totally flipped out and screamed bloody hell!! I left Wisconsin (after living in an old farmhouse for 23 yrs) and dealing with those stupid mice every fall....now living in Arkansas and dealing with scorpions.....hate to say this but almost prefer the mice....at least they don't sting!!

They said that when they were hired to do a job at your house, they were not told that they would have to kill the mice, just point them out to you so that you could do it. lol Out of six cats in my house, only one has ever captured a mouse, the rest would just run from it.
BTW, your fur babies are beautiful.

That is so funny! I don't know if I could have whacked it with a ruler :shock:. You're very brave! Adorable cats, even if they're no help. Maybe they were waiting for you to leave the room before springing into action!:D

Our cat doesn't eat them either - she just plays with them until they croak and when they are no fun any more, she walks off and lets me deal with it! We also have used a bathroom plunger (toilet bowl type) to throw over a mouse to catch it then slide a dust pan under it and take it outside! We live in the country so it is a viable option. :-)

you braver than me lol!!!!

Too bad your kitties only alerted you to the intruder, and not taken care of it. Fortunately, we don't have mice in our apt., however, when we lived in NH we would get "visitors" occasionally. TJ (the cat) would take care of the intruder, after putting it into the tub and "killing" it with vertigo from being chased around the tub. I've had cats that were good mousers, however the method of catching and putting the mouse into the tub was a new one to me. Aren't cats wonderful companions, and at times great entertainment?
