ROFLing very hard!!!!
It sound just like my house!!!
My male cat Pelu will bring live rats/mice through the cat door into the house and let them go just to watch the 120lb Rottweiler, 2-70ishlb mix breed and 7lb mix chase it around and of course I'm in the chase too...yelling for DH to help me. Both cats, Pelu the male and Petunia the female sit there and laugh and laugh and laugh.
Yes I live in an animal ruled house also!!

Hope you get over your bronchitis soon!!!!!

First I really am sorry you are not feeling well, and don't be upset but:

ROFLMBO TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cat person here. I live in an apt. now, but before I moved last year I had a 'female' cat who used to go outside and bring in "live" chipmunks and then suddenly this same cat who 'caught' it outside cannot possibly catch it inside!! So now I have a live chipmunk and a
cat watching it run around.

little,
ROFL!!!
Hope you get better, really soon
I could just 'see' you running around! FUNNY FUNNY Movie that played in my head as I read about your day...

Chloe,
After hearing your story it will seem pretty tame when I have to deal with half-dead mice thanks to my kitties!
I now know it could be a LOT worse! LOL
What became of the rat?
ann

I have a cat AND a dog who double team the mice that find their way in during the autumn.

The cat catches them in the basement and brings them upstairs to my bedroom (only after 2am) and drops them on the floor. The dog is immediately alerted and jumps on me to get to the mouse who by now is near death due to fright alone.

They chase the mouse around the bedroom until I get up and flip on the light and then the cat sits and looks innocent while I shoo the mouse out of it's current hidey hole and into a box for depositing outside. The dog looks disgusted that I've disrupted their play.

The cat is an indoor only cat so the Dog does the same with moles in the garden. He only ever finds them in the winter when they burrow under the snow. He'll come up with one in his mouth (the critter shreiking to beat the band) and want to be let in the house with it as a present for the cat (quid pro quo, doncha know). I usually have to put it out of it's misery with a shovel cuz my DH is never around when I need him for stuff like that.

The joys of pet owning . . .

Oh Tech...that is priceless!!! If a mouse is
within 50 feet of me I go into total paralysis!!!

I am terrified of rodents of any type...and
that includes hampsters, guinea pigs and any
animal that might be remotely related to the
MOUSE!!!!!!!

A chipmunk got in the house (thanks to a very
rude cat)....I stood on the kitchen table with
my children laughing hysterically AT ME.....
needless to say the chipmunk had to die..but
not at my hand, that would have meant me actually
getting off the table!!!

Am I a WIMP? YEP and proud of it!!! I live in
the city and would rather face a mugger than a
mouse...

Ohiomom you crack me up ..rather a mugger than a mouse...ROFLing

Well, then when you were "lurking" ya must of not
heard the "snake" story!!!

I will keep it short: lol

I do genealogy and was in the mountains of East
Tennessee looking for a ggggrandaddy's grave-site,
and walked up on a big old "chicken" snake sunning
on his headstone!!! Think I moved fast for that
mouse? Ha.....I was in the Car before you could
say RUN!!!

Meanwhile my cousin is rofl soooo, I locked all
the car doors, put up the windows and threatened
to leave him up in those mountains!!

O'mom...
I'm with stx...you'd take a mugger on before a mouse!!! Not ME!!!
But, don't blame you about the snake...yuck!

I used to have a mousy problem...I got a couple of those electronic gadgets that emit those funny noises and,
it works like a charm! If they come in, they don't stay in long!!!

Kim
Who has seen her teeny tiny mother do battle with a mouse in her kitchen cabinets and stomp on one in the yard that the cat was playing with...and neither of those mice/rats lived to tell the tale. (When you live in the country with cornfields all around, mice and rats like to move indoors when the corn is picked and their food supply is gone.) Then there was the snake in her birdfeeder(that had fallen on the ground)...that snake was jumping at her...the snake couldn't get his tail out of the birdfeeder...he didn't stand a chance with her and the hoe...I was watching her from my house with the phone in hand to call 911 when he bit her...but she got him!

I don't really want to 'meet' up with a mugger,
but if he had a mouse, he would have everything
I owned!!

I have this fear of them, and have never had
a mouse problem....go figure!!

I'll tell you though, when I go thru the old
cemetery's now, I carry a big stick and 'stomp'
my feet!!! lol

Linda, I think it is hilarious that you actually locked all the doors of your car.
I can just picture a chicken snake slithering up to your car and trying to open the door.
Actually I can't picture it only because I don't know what a chicken snake looks like :0)
ann

A chicken snake is HUGE!!!! He is dark..brown and/or black, I was moving too fast to check that out though!!!!!! MY cousin assures
me they are 'harmless' and good for keeping
down 'rodents'....but you have to keep in
mind although my 'roots' are in the country....I grew
up in the city!!! lol....

it's not like I
have ever seen anything but those little garter (?)
snakes when I was growing up!!!

I take it it is called a chicken snake because it eats chickens?
We have only one snake around here and he lives up in my son's room.
My son wanted him so badly and waited for a year for him.
For about 2 months he would take him out all the time.
Now he is totally uninterested in him.
Typical male!!
ann

I don't know why they call it that...as long
as they don't cross my path, they can eat
whatever they want....lol

The snake in the cemetery was bad, but the
old family cemetery in the cow pasture was
real scary....forgot where there are cows
there are bulls!!!! Needless to say, I am
a little more careful where I step now...hee hee
