Hurray for Cleo!!! What a wonderful friend to you and ferocious enemy to her foe! Her charm and beauty is matched by her cunning bravery!

I am right once again! I told the girls mice probably carry disease!

I think you should have a sit down with Cleo and conduct a performance evaluation. Remind her that there are many other cats in the Denver area willing and able to do the job. This might have a positive effect on her mousing abilities.

Rob, I can handle hamsters but not mice because they don't harbor HANTAVIRUS!

I am afraid SeÃƒÂ±or Mousie will stink up the house… ewww. He and his brothers haven’t shown up in my traps yet.

Wait a minute, Sar. How is it that you can handle hamsters but not mice?

We had one superb mouser when I was growing up [Oh, wait, Binki's still alive] but some of her kids were morons when it came to mice…..several played with the mmouse and never ate it. Gross.

Too funny! Ebb’s been totally captivated by a field mouse that darts under the patio wall to eat fallen bird seed. I think Ebb’s predation instincts aren’t quite as good as Cleo’s.

Here’s a funny mouse story for ya:

One day this summer, I was painting my bathroom, when my cute six year old daughter excitedly ran into the bathroom. She had been out playing in the backyard. She had her hands clasped together and sticking out from between her thumbs was a little field mouse head. His eyes were full of fear, but he just sat there real still. It scared me a little cuz I don’t want my little girl to be bitten. I grabbed a mop bucket and had her put it in there. She was proud of her little mini-adventure, chasing and catching that little mouse. I told her NOT TO TOUCH IT AGAIN but that she could observe it in the bucket for a bit and then we’d have to let it go! Well, it got out!!! In the house!!! She came to me and said, “Well, I guess we’ll have to go to plan B…..” I asked what that was and she said, “Kill it….” So, we set a trap. The poor little thing.

I did tell her to never touch a wild animal again unless she had an adult’s permission. I don’t want her to get bit by anything, but her catching that little mouse was so cute.

I hope you can catch it. We have had to set some traps. We seem to always get a few this time of year. I guess we should try to find out where they’re getting in at and fix it. Mouse turds make me yell, “SICK,SICK,SICK!!!”
