cat bellies have a secret message written on them that means "u cool and i am happy & safe here" <3<3<3
meanwhile in mouse news i slacked off and now it sounds like we almost have enough for a circus.
"hey mr. cat maybe we should pause putting offerings on the shrine til we get the pestilence sorted"
"nah ms. cat it'll be fine"
"k" *rides off in mouse-drawn chariot*

If you stop feeding the cat I predict mouse carcasses

I can live with mice, but I draw the line at bats.

lol stop feeding the cat & u get a cat who will pester u 94/7
alternatively the neighbors get a new cat who comes begging around with tails of woe (if they don't already)
bats cute but the rabies thing wld give me pawse

Having seen more than one up close, I would have to disagree with your position that bats are cute.

i shld have kept the pack rat who tried to move in a couple years ago, was v cute and we cld have disguised him as a chinchilla 🥸

hm i guess bats are best appreciated from a distance. when u see them flapping around at dusk in spring & summer they seem like lovely little sky mice!
how'd you get to meet multiple bats, jimbeaux? if i put a bug lamp outside my window will it draw spooky bat friends to me during the appropriate seasons? why are bats associated with autumn and bare trees if i only see them when it's warm out? ~bat mysteries~

One of the cats brought one in the house one time. We had to cover it with a wastebasket and kind of shuffle it out of the house.
Another one was lying on its back the brick wall outside our garage. I thought it was dead. To my surprise, when I nudged it with a stick it kind of flapped around and hissed. I guess cold weather can make them sluggish, so sluggish they can't fly.

that is pretty cool! pls hi5 yr cat for me
did you tenderly nurse the chill bat back to warmth, and did it then grant you 3 wishes or come back later to help you out of a jambeaux? wish i cld find a bat
― the royal y'all (cat), Wednesday, 15 March 2023 00:21 (one year ago) link
I did not want to go anywhere near that bat. It was creepy af, especially the way it hissed.

cat I just bought two of those green traps on your recommendation, but I haven't had any recent visitors to test them out on
― Andy the Grasshopper, Thursday, 16 March 2023 17:00 (one year ago) link
what ya gotta do, see, is rub cheese over your entire house so the neighborhood mice know where the party's at
but seriously, good luck Andy! hopefully you won't get any more visitors but if you do, may they blithely waltz in2 their guest quarters with a minimum of dallying/poop.

moose & mousse & mathilde have all 3 gone to live at the cow shed by the creek, where i wish them many happy moons.
but why, one begins to wonder. why try to hold back the mousy tide? i could start a circus. i could start a mouse zoo & charge people admission. when it's cold out why not sleep under a heaving blanket of mice. perhaps this is how stockholm syndrome begins.

in defiance of the warnings of my youth, i have given cookies to mice.
a new brood has appeared so i busted out our wee guesthouses and slathered the far interiors with peanut butter + parmesan, but the very first night we had any takers the weather decided to snow!! intolerable. it's bad enough i'm exiling them from their home; kicking them out to make their way through the freezing streets like fuzzy little matchgirls is too much.
(or, idk, freezing could be a more merciful end than most mice meet? i feel obliged to give them some chance at life. wish i could offer them a haven but there isn't any way afaics? they're sociable, so can't be kept in isolation, but if kept in groups they'll breed themselves to ruin! plus our lease probably says something about not harboring vermin or whatnot)
right so anyway. the temps rise tomorrow and sally & sue are tucked in their adjoining capsule apartments for the night. i'll not have it said on mousebnb that i am an ungracious host, so in addition to the peanut pâté & fromage i have slipped them each wisps of apple and pea-sized chunks of a cookie that expired last year, which they both set to busily nibbling at once.
― nḏm (cat), Wednesday, 28 February 2024 07:56 (six months ago) link
poor pitiful morsels, they're free now. sally leapt forth the moment i lifted the doors but sensible sue preferred to stay put and needed a few minutes of whispered encouragement before darting away (around and behind me, opposite the direction of her companion & my scatter of fancy granola, oh well). if they follow the smell of the goats they should find food and shelter. also i knelt in deer crap.

well maybe i enjoy kneeling in deer crap, did you ever think of that mr. mouse murderer! maybe i did it on purpose! maybe i'm bragging about it and you're just jealous that you don't have any nice mushy deer crap to kneel on!!!!!!!

that's quite the feast! i keep peanuts and sesame seeds on hand for smol visitors but cookies are a special treat! you were so sweet to put them up and give them a fighting chance, it's what we all would want <3

once i started watching tiny mouse house videos the algorithm suggested one on ANONYMOUSE and a new passion was kindled! the cover story is they're an anonymous collective of artists who install exquisite mouse-sized shops/bistros/hotels throughout (usually) sweden, but imho this is clearly the work of fairies

endpapers of the edn of “the borrowers” that i had as a kid
― mark s, Thursday, 29 February 2024 19:52 (six months ago) link
not seen or heard any mice for ages...
but earlier i dropped a dorrito on the kitchen floor and, as my hands were full (of more dorritos), i left it there momentarily...
5 minutes later, some scurrying. i stomp into the kitchen making as much noise as possible. nothing.
5 minutes later i remember the dorrito, and not seeing it the previous time. i check. it's not there. it's been dragged behind the fridge.
seems like i have a mouse. or borrowers.
