Reconsidering cat ownership...

[NH Homesteader]

I have heard that you can place their box near where they're going and slowly move it a little each day until it's where you want them to go. My mom had a shower pooper... She has to use these canisters that spray or you walk in front of them. He goes in the box now, but if she forgets to put it back he goes right back in the shower. Jerk.

That would drive me to more than a slap around the head… Seriously. At times like those an automatic, motion detection power shower could come in really, really handy… It could clean up the resulting mess too… handy

Hopefully the roo has made a strong impression on her and she'll learn her lesson! Any progress on the move??

You guys are too funny! Actually these two houses (they are attached) were already housing a few rodents when we moved in and I've been battling them since, as said before elsewhere on the forum. Of course my landlady is blaming the chickens for attracting the mice lol

So what ever happened to bad kitty? And it's true chickens do attrack mice SO THEY CAN EAT THEM.

@CrealCritter I decided not to bring her with when I moved to my new house last year. A friend told me he knows of a little girl who really wants a cat, so I said she can have her. The cat however kept running off back to my old house, where someone found her and she ended up getting adopted by another friend of mine's mother.

LOL I can believe that! Goodness, my old flock in S.A. loved mice… And small snakes. And frogs…

I had to tear up the carpet and replaced it with wood laminate. Of course, laminante doesnt like water, or in my case, a hiking male dog who is no longer with us. (Puppy heaven, cancer).
So there are a few boards that will need replaced but its a whole lot easier to clean.

Its ok. He was a little bleephole anyway. I was shocked when I realized he had lymphatic cancer and how fast some of the tumors grew. Even tho he was a pita, I consulted a couple vets where I worked and felt it best to let him go peacefully. Dont miss the pee the sneaky little cowterd would leave on my furniture. But I also do miss him.
