The Cat…......
-
One day, a cat dies of natural causes and goes to heaven, where he meets the Lord Himself.
The Lord says to the cat, "You lived a good life, and if there is any way I can make your stay in heaven more comfortable, please let me know."
The cat thinks for a moment and says, "Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and had to sleep on a hard wooden floor."
The Lord stops the cat and says, "Say no more," and a wonderful, fluffy pillow appears.
A few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident, and all of them go to heaven.
Again, the Lord is there to greet them with the same offer.
The mice answer, "All our lives we have been chased.
We have had to run from cats, dogs, and even women with brooms.
Running, running, running; we're tired of running.
Do you think we could have roller skates so that we don't have to run anymore?"
The Lord says, "Say no more" and fits each mouse with beautiful new roller skates.
Week later, the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him snoozing on the pillow.
The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him, "How are things since you got here?"
The cat stretches and yawns, then replies, "It is wonderful here.
Better than I could have ever expected. And those 'Meals On Wheels' you've been sending by are the best!" -
corny but cute!
Unfortunately I found plenty of "mouse evidence" in my spare room where I store everything. My two cats aren't terribly effective, well I guess they can't be with the door shut. So….I guess it will be open from now on. But I put some D-con in just to be sure. In places the cats can't get to it. Now that I mentioned it, I'm going to have to check with the company...what if my cats eat a mouse that ate some D-con? It doesn't kill the mouse immediately.

There is such an electronic device that will help control the rodent population in your home. It is called "Pest OFFence". It looks like a night light that you plug into your wall. Generally in a larger home, you may require 2, or if in a mansion, possibly more. I've been using them since 1997 since I had an uncontrollable mouse problem when I first moved into this house. It was actually so uncontrollable that with 4 cats in the house, I couldn't keep their population in check. The "Pest OFFence" puts out an electromagnetic field through your wiring at just the right frequency that to humans and cats, it's not noticeable, but to rodents, it's like fingernails on a chalk board, which drives them crazy, thereby making them leave. The only time I have ever seen a mouse in the house since I started using them was the day someone or something managed to open my bedroom window in the middle of the winter and I got attacked by the damn thing. See this forum thread for the details on that whole ordeal.
