I've never had a mouse but every time I see a bug, I put my cat in front of it and she eats it. It's awesome. The cat doesn't pay rent and I don't have a bf to kill things, it's the least she can do.

That is unless you consider the pet a pest. It's only one letter difference.

Dan Allen - what a fantastic guest... a great story teller. I was riveted.

Secret of Nimh is awesome. I recently found out Wil Wheaton was the voice of one of the mice, I need to go back and watch it again with that knowledge.

I don't though, that's why i have 2 cats

Keith's glueboard story is nothing compared to what my grandmother use to do. She would set the standard mouse traps and, if the mouse was still alive on the trap, she would open the trap and put the mouse on top of a brick then use another brick to smash it dead.

Although this was the same woman who tried to flush a kitten with fleas down the toilet. She's a cruel old bitch.

If you get a cat, you trade mice for hair. Cat hair all over. And sometimes, the cat will get into your food too, so maybe it's not the best solution.

You know before getting a cat that hair will be an issue and if you keep a clean house, the hair isn't much of an issue anyway.

My cats have never shit, pissed and puked on my carpet or gotten into my food. The ginger one i posted earlier got so sick a few days after i got him that he almost died and not once did me shit or vomit anywhere except the litter tray. He was from a petshop and only 6 weeks old so not extremely trained.. i do feel i got lucky with that one though.

Your either a pet fan or you aren't. I'm not about to try convincing anyone.

Here in the Canada they just advertise it for sale in most of the variety stores around the University. Even different types. I think most of the signs show 4 or 5 kinds. Not sure what the difference is.

Never had the urge to try it after I've seen some of my friends on it. If I was going to though I think I'd pick the store over an internet order any day.

Is the Jeremy they're talking about gumby013?

I bought an electric mouse trap once with little hope that it would work. I couldn't have been more wrong. Just a couple of AA batteries, and when the mouse entered the trap to get the peanut butter, he closed a circuit and lights out. Every morning a dead mouse, and every night pleasant thoughts of every little synapse in their tiny little nervous systems smoking. That's money well spent.
