Mice, ho!

It is time for our annual mouse fight. They are so bold that they just run out onto the kitchen counters in full daylight and stare at us before turning to hide in the innards of the refrigerator, oven or microwave.

The cats' only contribution has been one leap onto the counter to stare back, but nothing beyond that.

So we are getting out the non-poisonous artillery. Sticky traps, mothballs, fabric softener sheets, cocoa-mixed-with-plaster-of-paris ...

Peter thinks the only solution is to sit up all night with a BB gun and take 'em out, one by one.

BTW, that is not our counter in the photo, although our cats do have toy mice like that.

Maybe I should sprinkle catnip around where we see mice. It would get on their fur and feet and THAT would get the cats excited!
