Ringo has been a busy kitty the past few days. He has surprised us by catching three mice in the house (likely the basement). Two of the mice, sadly, were already dead but the third one was still alive so Jim took it outside for release.
Oddly, Ringo had no interest in eating his catch, only to play with them. In fact, one of the dead mice was very wet from his licking it.
We debated showing you a photo with one of the mice. . .and ultimately, we won't share a photo. We know it might upset some people. While I'm not crazy about the dead mice, I also know a) they are carnivores and b) it's instinct to hunt.
I've lived here 19 years and in that time, no cat has ever caught a mouse. Ringo is on the hunt now and I'm sure he won't stop until the house is free from critters!

Good work Ringo. They must have found some way to get inside, you need to go all around the house to find it. XO
What a star you are Ringo!
We've had mouse visitors in our basement the past couple weeks too, and the Havahart traps have been busy! So far Mudpie hasn't caught anything...gulp...
You are quite the hunter, Ringo!
Ringo is doing a much better job than I did when we had rats here! I found them and then waited for my human to catch them for me! Because isn't that what humans are supposed to do?
Kitty ignored mice until she was 11. All of a sudden, she started bagging them left and right! I was terrified of them at the time so I wasn't amused that she brought them to my bedroom. Sounds like Ringo is a class A mouser!
