Mouse vs Philip.

[ed]

I relate cats to caesar at the auditorium....

they only torment the mice until the mice don't play anymore

[pre65]

Got up for a pee about 2:45, and whilst I was up checked the trap, result !!.

Another mouse caught, number 5. So, I got dressed and took it up the road about 1/4 mile and let it out. I know it's got little chance of survival but I could not kill it.

Got home and reset the trap, then put kettle on as I don't feel tired now. Probably will browse YouTube looking at cars with big V8 engine conversions.

You do know mice can find their way back Phil? I’d start tagging them, you may be re-catching the sameness one! 1/4 mile may not be far enough away...

I did wonder.

When the new traps get here any caught ones will go out in a coffin.

I've started making a batch.

Mouse coffins?
You have lost it!

Chuck the bodies on the garden and give a free meal to the local wildlife.
Nature doesn't waste very much.

Have some respect Chris, I'm a very sensitive soul when it comes to loss of life.

You're quite prepared to take a live one far away from your house, only to release it to almost certain death.
Which makes you a murderer

Not necessarily, but by the weekend I will be like Albert Pierrepoint.

Snapping necks to order?
At least it's quick.

I'm serious about chucking the bodies on the garden - scavengers will polish 'em off.

If SWMBO is allergic to cats, have you thought about getting a pet python?

Ball pythons are quite small - reticulated ones might, quite literally, be overkill

Trouser snake ?

Like I said, my money is on the mice!

.....traps of a design I've not seen before....

Aha! I know what it is...

That's the sort of tactic Tom uses to get Jerry. We all know what tends to happen to Tom!

Re- 1/4 mile not far enough. I wonder if driving a couple of miles could be deemed to be an unnecessary journey.

Good for you using humane traps. I caught five too a while back.

Thanks. I got 1 more humane trap delivered today, so 2 in use tonight.
