People always say they look cute and yea sure,

But did y'all forget the fact that they can literally get rid of all your mice problems?

I got a cat because for companionship and one month later, all those filthy mice are gone.

Being soft and warm to pet, and the beautiful meows, are just the cherry on top of their lovely companionship.

They -can- do that yes. Whether or not they will choose to, however, is anyone’s guess.

They will have a joyous time with it. And you might find eviscerated mice under your couch one day. But my two dumbass fur balls just thought they were awesome toys.

Never figured out quite when they stopped coming in. The only really humane way to kill em is snap traps. I probably went through a couple dozen of them before they stopped showing up.

I was against using poisoned food traps because the last thing I wanted was my cat consuming a poisoned mouse. But, since our whole neighborhood had a problem with the mice, I wouldn't be too surprised if a neighbor did it.

Snap traps in a brown paper bag baited with peanut butter.

When you catch something, curl up the top of the bag and throw it all in the trash.
