Walking into the entry room just now, I saw movement along one baseboard.

On my stomach with a flashlight, I found a small mouse hiding in the corner, under an armchair.

No use trying to catch him by hand. I looked over to the living room couch, where the black cat was sleeping this evening. No cat. I asked my wife, "is there a cat in the house?". No cat. I opened the front door, looked out, called. No cat.

Worthless things. We have two, a tabby and the black cat. They are well cared for, have the run of the house, get tuna occasionally and would get milk daily except that they don't like it. All I ask in return is that they keep the house rodent-free. Now look at this.

We're leaving for a week tommorrow am. I fully expect the cats to have done their job by the time we get home, and I want proof. Hopefully not staining the carpet.

At least there is one good thing about having mice. It means you don't have rats.

Are your cats "productive"?
