Are Mice REALLY That Dumb???

While sitting on the sofa watching TV last night, my attention was diverted to our staircase which is in my line of sight.

I see a dark little blur, and hear a huge *thud*.

It was a mouse that had fallen from the floor above onto about the third or fourth step of the stairs.

REALLY?!?

Yes, really!

It must have been a bit stunned because it didn't know what to do, or where to go, giving me enough time to grab the cat near me and sic it on the mouse. Of course my dog was scaring the cat so he didn't even pay attention to the dark little blur and a hilarious chase ensued.

Stoopid cat keeps bringing them inside to 'play' with before he eats them. Unfortunately, some get away while he's batting them around. Ggggrrrr!

Mice don't make a huge *thud,* that was a "RAT!"

I think I'd rather deal with having to eliminate mice. At least I can catch them in traps... Don't think I could deal with the skunk problem.

Re: Are Mice REALLY That Dumb???

My daughter saw not one, but TWO mice in her room yesterday. She puts our black cat in there, but he was all over the dresser, where they'd apparently been living. We took most of the stuff out of her room, but he wasn't able to get them.

His auntie, who is an old farm cat, was put in there also, but she had an attitude of 'I used to catch mice only when I had to, and I'm not doing you any favors for love or money', and planted her fat self underneath the desk and just sat there looking around. She refused to hunt for mice.

My son informs me this morning that he resorted to buying mouse traps. Figures. I have useless cats!!!

Re: Are Mice REALLY That Dumb???

I feel compelled to breakdown this post. With all the talk about how we DEFINE AFF, analyzing one of the key supporters is of critical importance.

The average mouse maybe weighs 4-6 ozs...how does that little bit-o stuff create a HUGE THUD. What is the MRS really hearing or wanting us to believe she heard?
It was a mouse that had fallen from the floor above onto about the third or fourth step of the stairs.
FALLEN? FALLEN? she will later go on to implicate the cat in the crime involving a little rodent locked in a battle for its life being launched from the stairway precipise by ?..... Why is the MRS covering for CAT in this unprovoked act of violence?
REALLY?!?

Yes, really!
Why is the MRS having a conversation with herself using typed dialogue? Who is she speaking to?....the Cat? her doggie? her other self?
It must have been a bit stunned because it didn't know what to do, or where to go, giving me enough time to grab the cat near me and sic it on the mouse. Of course my dog was scaring the cat so he didn't even pay attention to the dark little blur and a hilarious chase ensued.
So...we now learn that MRS may actually be involved at the top of this mouse tormenting food chain, the director of this scene....and the CAT is her patsy.

Stoopid cat keeps bringing them inside to 'play' with before he eats them. Unfortunately, some get away while he's batting them around. Ggggrrrr!
So, is the MRS really an anti-cat kooky eccentric that is out to make a CAT the fall-guy whenever strange sounds occur....in her mind?
Is the MRS actually inviting unsuspecting MICE onto her stairway by telling them she has leftover cheese she can't finish?
Are all the problems with AFF actually just a smoke screen to cover up the MRS' sinister cat-n-mouse games?

....inquiring minds NEED TO KNOW!

When my lovely, silly dog was alive, we had several mice in the house. Now that's he's gone, our cat came home and no more mice.

I think our cat has a boyfriend that's been hanging around. I feed them both in the mornings. I don't particularly care for cats, so our cat is simply called Gato and the other one doesn't have a name. LOL!

Cool Re: Are Mice REALLY That Dumb???

We currently own our third cat. He supplements his dry cat food diet all by himself. We find baby rabbit pieces and bird feathers on the front porch.

In another state and city, cat #1 was seen eating mice, birds, chasing dogs (really!) The cat was part siamese. We lived near a large field where weeds and insects flourished.

Earlier I had a serious cricket problem in the basement Imagine sorting the clothes to add to the washer and having crickets
jump out at you.
Shortly after getting the cat----the cricket problem ended
If I had known her worth we'd have found a cat sooner.
