Animals who affect your life.

[Globalti]

A herd of hooligan cows has moved into the field behind us and in two days they have absolutely decimated the lovely long grass, spoiling our view. Last night one of them kept on mooing, which kept me awake; I think he must have been having trouble with a tight jersey.

However the disturbance caused by the cows' hooves means the cats' mousing success rate has improved from an average of one mouse a day to four yesterday. We do what we can to ease their suffering and yesterday evening two quite large mice got snatched from the claws of the cat and died peacefully in the palm of my hand while I whispered little prayers for their mousy souls. What's the quickest way to put a mouse out of its suffering? I thought about drowning them in a bowl of water.

Don't take them away from the cats. They will deal, with mice much better and quicker than you can. Your not doing the mice any favours taking them from the cats.

For me, drowning is one of the worst ways I'd like to go - right up there with fire. I'd suggest a neck snap, but that might be harder for the more sqeamish.

Stamp on them, but you know that, stop fannying about with bowls of water.

Our youngest and highly nervous cat brought in a huge frog this morning, it had a wound on it's back and was making a weird noise. I was trying to explain to my daughter that stamping was humane when it started hopping about the dining room, must have been listening. It's now been moved to it's new home, my mothers pond, she'd recently been complaining about all the mosquitos on it's surface, karma!

+1 on leave the kitting to the cat. Your cats will dispatch the mouse off to mousie heaven faster than drowning the poor things.

 

[Crackle]

You'll need a rifle for the cows though.

See if you can find a cow to step on them.

But be very wary, in case they're

Here you go...print out, stick on window with compromised view & be happy!

Put them in a plastic bag and whack it against a hard surface.

No ....... you're thinking about digestive biscuits for making cheesecake base.
