Lmao, my cat got rid of all my mice problems in a month. Companionship + Pest Control package deal. Best deal ever!
(She chases mice around but doesn't seem to know how to kill, just keep pouncing until they are dead, but bigger mice sometimes get away. Didn't matter, one month after I got her, zero mice in sight. Poof, gone. Still have roach problems, but sadly, cats don't hunt roaches. Oh well ๐คทโโ๏ธ)
Now you just need a pet spider for the roaches
Bruh, my cat will eat the spider.
Anything my cat can eat are non-options when considering getting more pets.
Inteoduce cabin spiders. They reproduce faster than your cat can get them, and theyll hang out where your cat cant get to them. They literally cannot harm you at all, and their population will explode proportionally to their prey, and it will go down when theres less prey. They are one of the largest consumers of other spiders too.
Just this morning. Such a helpful kitty. Although the bringing to bed part could probably be skipped.
Mine does. I barely squish em myself anymore, I just warn them to get out before the cat sees, and I always find the corpse in the morning.
mine is dead afraid of anything smaller then himself for some reason. i still love him though
The mice can smell the cat and knows to stay away.
When I was a kid we moved into a lovely house where I grew up, it was quite well ventilated, (when a gust of wind hit in a particular way, it would blow sheets of paper of my desk even when all windows and doors were closed), and we had to get mouse traps, these were the old classic type which snapped shut and broke the mouse's neck, we would get a few mice every year.
Then we decided to get a kitten, a lovely completely black kitten with thick but short fur and tuffs on her ears.
We didn't know it at the time but over the next 15-20 years she became a quite accomplished huntress.
And we never had any issues with mice since though one mice that she brought home did escape into a hole inside and we never saw it again, probably because we just after that poured a concreate foundation through the hole.
Not even when we got rid of the water melon my dad had placed in the foundation mold.
Toxoplasmosis will make them walk right up to cats which can confuse the cat. -They catch it from the cat's urine.
