Guest Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Mog the Mouser chased something last night into the bathroom, and has only come out the bathroom once since then, to go our for a wee. He has literally spent the last 24 hours guarding a hole in the floorboards where, up until Friday, a waste pipe came up through the floor for a shower. Spider? Mouse? Rat?? Alligator????? What could possibly make a cat guard a hole for that length of time?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken on a mission Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 A tuna? Mind you, it'd have to be a blooming big hole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 He's resisted the temptation to get the iron out ready to squish, but it really is rather disturbing. He's moved now, and is sitting at the bathroom door, tail flicking, whiskers twitching. I think I may set a mouse trap before I go to bed tonight!

Louise Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 It will be a mouse shona the best thing to use to tempt it out is fluids soak a bit of toilet paper in water and use that as the bait they can go for ages without food but not water I remember having to that when we had one in the kitchen and my ex left a buiscuit out for it as he felt sorry for it But the wet tissue got it I was using a humane trap by the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 We captured "You *&%$Y&*" the mouse and its chubby friend with a humane trap successfully. Food worked OK, but was housemate's food on floor that attracted it in first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I'm pretty certain now that it is/was a mouse - a spider just wouldn't hold Mogs interest for so long! We had problems with mice when we first moved in - we are right next to a farmers field, so I set a trap (humane one, although I must be mad cause the b****r will just come back once it's released), but it's still empty this morning, and Mog is looking rather smug, after another night on the bathroom vigil - he's back to sleeping under Caity's bed, so assume he got whatever it was. I will leave the trap out till the floorboards are replaced and the tiles put down. Bless my little honey Mog, what would I do without him?
