Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Hi Scottymol, Sorry cant see the images on phone but thanks for your advice.I have two cats who ‘tolerate’ each other so the pen would need to be quite large and not sure they wouldn't end up scrapping with each other in a smaller space (it doesnt take much to spark it off) but definitely something ...

Worms!
Hi all, Feel really bad. I have not been keeping on top of my two cats wormer. Male cat threw up yesterday and there was a worm wriggling about (mad panic and googling ensued!). It looked like a roundworm - thanks to google - so I gave him prescription Profender spot on. It was on maybe 20 mins and ...

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Hi guys, Ive been hesitant to write this as I dont want to tempt fate but it has been over a week now and no mice running round my kitchen. I caught Kacey early one evening with a dead mouse in the kitchen and did what you are not supposed to do. Screamed, shouted and gave a very strong lecture whic...

Re: Ever had a near-invisible but palpable lump on cat post-injection?
This probably isnt much help but my female cat always gets a lump after her yearly injections. My male cat has never had that and they both get done at the same time by the same vet. I think she just has a reaction to it - it doesnt seem to bother her and usually disappears after about a week or so.

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Mollycat - i think you are probably right but I live in hope! I think she would manage to hunt even if I put bells on her four paws and tail..!

Re: Cat bringing in live mice

She has spent the day curled up on the sofa snoring so Im expecting an active night!! I will let you know ho...

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Hi guys, Just an update - if anybody wants one- as I think Ive solved the riddle of the missing beheaded mouse..yuk! Kitty cam caught Kacey bringing in another live one last night which she played with then somehow passed it over or lost it to Riley (dopey male cat) who promptly grabbed it and left ...

Thanks everyone for all the help and advice. I will no doubt be looking for more soon.......

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Susand, thanks you for the reply. My two cats are locked in the kitchen now when it gets dark with access to cat flap if they want to go out so I know the remains could only be in the kitchen (unless she took ot out again?!)Its not a big room and have checked everywhere but no sign of the rest of it...

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Ok, Im back looking for advice again! I now have a kitty cam that I have set up to record movement in the cat flap so I know when Kacey brings something in. Anyway she brought in a live mouse early hours again! Luckily my blocking of all possible hiding places in the kitchen seems to have worked and...

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Its the thought of something scuttling about the room that gives me the shivers. Never been good with mice/hamsters etc so its more of a challenge for me to try and get it out the house! Though I have perfected the art of chair walking to get to the fridge!! I do feel so much better knowing its not ...

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Wow fjm, that would be my nightmare! Its not the fact they bring things in - which is bad enough - its the clean up and tear the room apart to find them! If anyone discovers a cat flap that stops them coming in with prey they would make a fortune!

Re: Cat bringing in live mice
Ruth B Thank you so much for replying. With the weather in the UK so warm just now both cats are out most of the day and night. Only coming in to feed then go out again so trying to keep them in would be a nightmare. Plan B is, as you have suggested, to block as many nooks and crannies in the kitche...
