Mouse time

[neko1]

Since my guys actually killed a real mouse in the house this morning (a very gross site to see) I decided to buy them a catnip one to feast on instead.

There's no pumpkin cause she destoys every toy she sees. I tried giving it to her and she started to tear it apart at the seams and they only had it for a few minutes!!!

Some of my guys love to LICK the catnip mice, too. They get them soaking wet, sometimes!

What wonderfully cute pics!!

I tell you from experience. It is so much better when they actually kill them quickly. We live in the mountains and in the late fall it feels like a hoarde of them come streaming in to hide from the cold. We try plugging all holes but it always seems like they find another. My Deirdre is quite the Mighty Huntress. I can't tell you how many times I have been standing behind Deirdre with my fingers in the sides of her mouth while my husband stands in front of her with a plastic cup under her mouth while I tell her over and over while trying to pry open her jaws.....drop the mousie Deirdre drop it...she is growling and lashing her tail...eventually she drops it and Brian catches it in the cup to be rerealed into the woods for another chance at life. If I can't keep her from catching them then I would rather she killed them quickly which does happen.. :(

omg how cute!! I bought my cat Felix a catnip mouse, cause he has this weird catnip heart that he LOVES to attack & bite & play with, but he never plays with the mouse!!

We also try to plug up the holes so they cannot get in and this is the first time one got in. I am still in shock both that the mouse got in and that the cats killed it. I hope this doesn't happen anymore...

Tama looks very much like Filou in the pic in which you see his little butt:D

And Tigris just like Pumpkin is the big destroyer. You always must make sure that he can only destroy the older worn out toys:D

Great pics. I can see they really enjoy that little mousie. I'm going to have to shop around and find one for Mooky.

[bluekat]

Hee hee, cute pics! Exactly how mine would act:D

Max bought in a mouse that was still alive last month. Luckily enough the mouse was fine and we put him back out in the garden again and kept Max in.

I sadly found a dead mouse in the garden last week though.

[HayleyRosie]

They look like they are really enjoying that mouse.

Great pictures!!! Your kitties are so photogenic, and you always manage to catch them in adorable mode (well, they ARE kitties, so I guess they're always in adorable mode ;) ). My kitty has a furry catnip mouse with a velcro belly, so you can open it up and re-stuff it with nip - I always find it around the house with it's fur VERY soggy........ ;)

As far as real mice, I read somewhere that plugging up the holes with steel wool works well since they won't chew on that.

The only mice I will buy is from the Animal Welfare Association in my City. They are made with fresh cat nip , and are virtually indestructable.And all of te proceeds go to the Stray Cats and Kittens , to board them until Good Homes can be Found!:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:
