Me versus the Mice in my appartment, the sequal.

[Blazer]

Well, after that last mouse I found in one of my traps after coming home from the vintage guitar fair at march the 28'th I never heard any rodent activity anymore so I figured that I got them all.

But just now I heard Red meowing at me in a way that he usually doesn't do. If he meows in the first place it's usually a high pitched soft "Meyew" but this time he was going "Mraaoow" and in loud frequent successions as if he wanted to tell me "Hey man, look at this!"

So I turned around and Red dropped a dead mouse in front of my feet before looking up with a very satisfied look in his eyes. So I went "way to go my man! Job well done!" and petting his head. He then proceeded to eat the mouse and I turned away, giving him his privacy and sparing myself the nausea. When the eating noises stopped I turned around again and there was nothing left, just Red who was licking his lips.

As I'm typing this down Red is sleeping in my lazy chair.

I love that cat.

Awesome! Pour Red a cold one in his water dish. He deserves it. :ROTF:

[guitarsjb]

Way to go Red!!!

Wassup Fett!

[Ben...]

Skeleton and all? That cat is intense!

[Vass]

Hehe cats take down the whole thing. I remember some outdoor cats we had that had a habit of leaving bird feet at the door for us- Everything else, from beak to asshole, they ate.

Nice. Bring that cat by my place - I need a good mouser.

So here's a mouse story from this weekend.

They're doing a facia job on my apartment building, so there's scaffolds and stuff all over, and holes through the walls, etc. So this weekend, my wife and I are sitting on the couch where she can see through to the bedroom windows. She says "there's a mouse on the blinds in the bedroom!" Normally, we do not get mice in the bedroom - kitchen, sure - so I figure it probably climbed up or down the side of the building and in through the gaps around the AC unit.

So I go in there, broom and plastic bag in hand, ready to wage some aggression. I corner the sucker, but then it darts under the AC. The AC's a rear-vent wall unit that's totally inside - just the back is butted up to the opening in the window. So I pull the AC out and as I'm placing it down and grabbing my plastic bag again, the mouse spots me, FREAKS, and dives out the window - six stories down to 34th St.

That's right - Rodents fear me so much that they'll commit suicide rather than be taken alive.

NY rats are tough. How do you know he actually died?

[Grandturk]

Yeah - 6 stories probably isn't enough. But good thing it was a mouse and not a rat - the rats around here can kill small dogs.

get that cat a big bag of catnip

I didn't mind the mice in my apartment, until one died in the wall and the smell basically ruined my life for a couple months, so I say KILL EM ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
