Re: The art of mice catching!!
LOL, Alicat, Leia isn't for rent, although I know she'd enjoy a hunting visit to you! I'm always so surprised how small they are too. We once had a RAT and she did a completely different job with it, no playing around, just a quick nape bite and a dead rat. Have a pic of that too, might be a bit unnerving to some if I posted it....??? For a gentle house cat she's a really good mouser if I say so as shouldn't.

they can certainly squeeze through the gap under many doors, especially those on outbuildings which are usually not a close fit.

I'm the same as you quetta, the trouble is my husband doesn't like killing anything at all.
which is a nuisance as you can't rely on him to take control! He's useless at catching spiders, he picks them up trying not to harm them and half the time he drops them and they run away

A quick stomp does it!
I LOVE spiders, I have owned two tarantulas. The other day we had a HUGE regular spider wandering around the sitting room floor, it was lovely. My husband and son would only come down from the curtain rails when I picked it up and removed it from he room! Shhhhhhhhhhhh! Don't tell them I released it in the lobby!

I'm with your husband and son. I think I would have to divorce you if I was married to you.
