Pounce has a habit of snuggling with me in the bed, when we're out on the truck. But her first night at home, she went prowling - which I expected. I forced myself to stay in bed, despite the regular banging around, figuring she needed to adjust to the house, and could do so quicker without interference from me.

At the time, I had a serious mouse problem at home - and I figured it only natural she would go after them eventually, but she was barely three months old at this point, and a "city cat" at that. I was quite pleasantly surprised the next morning, after a mostly sleepless night with her thrashing about, to find THREE dead mice laid out in a row near her dish, where I'd be sure to find them. GOOD GIRL!!!!

After a few more home visits - and a record of five captures when I stayed out one evening (had four laid out, and a firm grip on the fifth, which was still kicking, when I walked in) - our mouse problem was soon eliminated.

A similar fate awaits the FLY who thinks it can live for long in the truck......

Yup - I can fully sympathize with that! I just keep driving, and try not to think about it.......

When my wife and I were building our house, we had it "dried in", in other words we had the walls and roof up but nothing else. We would take the portable stove, dogs, cats, cook steaks, and sleep over using our sleeping bags. The house had been largely open due to its being constructed so it got some critters. When we awoke the next morning, we discovered that our cats had been busy, they presented me with 3 dead mice on top of my chest. Sometimes, when you're asleep, its better not to know all that goes on around you.
