Cat 5 Mice 0

In the last week, our big boned has killed three mice and two others died after I moved them outside. We have had a rodent problem for about a month, and we have been waiting for the cat to step up a little bit here. He has. One was outside, and the others were in the house, three in the last 24 hours. We think we may have a nest in the pipes somewhere, or in the basement. The last three mice, it appears the cat brought upstairs and played with them, or smothered them. One was DOA, one last night was still alive, but died when I put him outside. The one I found earlier today, was being played with by the cat, and appeared to be near death. The cat looked pissed off that I took his toy from him.

Now the cat is resting comfortably in the dining room, he has certainly earned his keep in the last week.
