When my son was about 4, he started wanting to stay up late and sleep late. I didn't mind because I wasn't working. He got plenty of sleep. He was a big help when his sister was a baby. He was 5 then.
Muffin has settled down, but is still hunting. One more mouse hit the dust. We may have this problem solved by the time the exterminators get here next week.
It is cold here again today.
The bird mother is on the nest keeping her baby's warm.
Hope everyone has a great day and weekend.

Thankful: If you watch that movie I recommended - you may not WANT an exterminator! :eek:
-
Oh dear! :eek:

Awww. Poor little mice. Can't you just set a live trap and let them loose a ways down from your home? I'm the kind that can't kill a fly.
-
Sorry, Allie, but turning them loose would just mean they would be right back in the house.
The idea is to get RID of them... -
Feed them to the cat.
-
For once, Gib and my cat are agreeing.
-
I would have to borrow a cat and then Muffin would chase the cat so that would not help.
Chips, mice can be very destructive as well as harmful to our health. -
Mice will chew up anything to make their nests and they carry diseases.
-
A purrfect reason for the cat to eat it.
-
Well, just logged on and saw that Gib was the last post here. I just knew it was going to be something not nice about cats.
-
Actually, Gib has found a good use for cats
I like cats, but Muffin doesn't. He would have if I had got a kitten when he was a puppy. I thought about it, but I didn't want to declaw the cat and they are sometimes so destructive. -
Considering that you are sub-letting your wreath to a family of birds, it is probably just as well. What does Muffin think of them?
We have sparrows that nest under our window air conditioner every year. Our cats are always very "worried" about that, and sit and stare at the direction of the noise. It is funny to watch them be so "concerned." And of course, a tiny bird is not allowed to sit in the tree at the front of the house! If they see one while on window patrol, they make a big fuss. -
Oreo saw a dead mouse and ran the other way! :confused:
-
I'm with you on that Sue...I am getting ready to put D-Con under the house and out in several areas where the mice have been spotted in the yard. If a cat eats some of it, so be it....I just don't want the mice.
It's raining here. Viv and I went to Wally World and got our weekly grocery shopping done, and then came home and ate lunch. I then got her small compost bin started, and we laid out where we want the garden to be. Just about that time, it started with a misty rain, and then got heavier from there. I'm ready for the rain to end. Speaking of that, it just did and the sun is actually trying to peek out from behind the clouds. Maybe it will warm up a bit, too!
Allie, mice are NOT good! -
Sue, see...Oreo is really a "chicken"...cat...chicken....I think the man at the who flung poo has the right idea! Sweet and sour kitty! ;)
-
Tony, if I were a cat and had no claws to catch a mouse with, I'd run the other way too!
Just call me §weet and §our §ue. -
Y'all are giving me the 'willies' with all this talk about rodents .
Speaking of cats, we have a 'family' with 5 kittens under our house. -
Still, all the blossom is out and the new leaves are on the trees and the birds are chirping outside my windows - and we do get the occasional flash of sunshine every so often, so things are looking up . We may not get the sustained periods of gloriously hot weather we had in the summer of 2003, but this summer might be a bit better than last year's . -
Muffin hasn't seen the baby birds. He doesn't go on the front porch.
