Once lived in a house where the roommate had a tabby. Very cool cat, stole his fresh trimmed herb any chance it got, and only caught bats and released them in his bedroom (woke one night to a blood-curdling scream from his woman when she woke to a bat crawling up the sheets towards her). The cat never caught a mouse that I know of.
One fall a least weasel moved in, said hello from time to time when you opened the cupboard under the sink. Not a single mouse in the house that winter. Cat hated that weasel. Weasel was kind enough not to leave any funk behind, and left in the spring. Get a weasel.

Heh, I've run across a couple in the woods, and have cleaned up a cabin after one visited; they aren't nearly as cordial a house guest as that little ermine. Originally Posted by hutash

Ferret is the best solution to this problem.

not a cate fan at all...but this thread kind of makes me want one....something respectable about an animal that can kill what they need to eat.

Great thread...
For the record, I detest cats. I'm a dog guy, through and through. But...
When we moved onto a ranch, we had a serious mouse problem. Then I found Pat Benetar, a then-frozen kitten in a farmer's field while pheasant hunting. I took her home and she became our cat.
I hate Pat. She is always plotting against me (I can tell by the way she stares at me). She torments the dogs, sheds, and is a dwarf cat with no soul. She is completely ungrateful for the fact that I most certainly saved her life.
But I haven't seen a mouse in over a year."All God does is watch us and kill us when we get boring. We must never, ever be boring."

I hate 'em too, but they do a great job keeping critters at bay. We got three last summer to control our ridiculous pocket gopher infestation; they've since branched out into squirrels. The one I call ".9" (he has no tail) brought me this little treasure a few days ago: Originally Posted by OldLarry

How does it work to keep an outdoor cat when you live somewhere where it is cold, snowy & windy all winter long? Do you let them in the garage if you don't have a barn?
We have little chipmunk/gopher types that live in our rocks and I would love to get rid of them. They dig holes everywhere and the dog can't ever catch them though she tries. I hate cats, but would like to get rid of this problem.
