Why would you keep your cats locked up inside? Animal cruelty. Keeps them clean and free of burrs, ticks, and fleas. Keeps them from getting killed by cars, dogs, or cat haters, or being carried away by hawks. And keeps them from digging up the neighbor's freshly planted veggies and pooping in their spinach. I have to put screens over the beds whenever I plant because of neighbor's uncontrolled cats. |

Better that than a smelly cat box (and yes, they ALL do smell- the owners are just desensitized), and a cat that starts trashing furniture and becoming crazy and/or obese from lack of stimulation and exercise. And before you say it, I consider declawing to be animal cruelty. How would you like the last joint of all your fingers and toes cut off? Sorry, 'indoor only' cats may live longer, but they aren't cats any more. I could never do that to a sentient creature. -- aem sends... |

Deprived of that, they get depressed. |

The look on the face of the little mouse conveys extreme surprise and shocked disbelief after the bar crushes its little backside. The last ultrasonic squeak of WTF in mouse-speak is frozen in its tiny countenance forever or until it is consumed by other smaller vermin or it desiccates and eventually turns to dust. :-) TDD |

She said "Well come over here and fill out this paperwork." I was standing there with blood dripping off the end of my fingers, my clothes were tattered and bloody and my helmet looked like it had been pushed up against a big grinding wheel at various angles. Another nurse walked up and said to the first nurse "Shut up, put him in there." It was one of the more interesting experiences in my life. :-) TDD |

Finely after getting a case of the ass, blurting out -- "this one has 4 - 6 stab wounds in his chest ... red foam is gurgling from his chest... he ran out of air or is about to." Then I told her to stabilize him and we can get 'em to "Danville". |

I've recently come across some articles that mention you can make your own "non-toxic" rat/mouse posion by making a 50:50 mixture of regular/ corn flour and cement powder. *They eat the mixture, then go in search of water. *Once they drink some water....game over. *I have a few specific questions, in relation to this D.I.Y. rat poison. - How effective is this mixture at killing rats and/or mice? - Assuming you place this mixture indoors (e.g. in the roof space), will this poison ONLY take effect once the rodent goes outside for a drink of water? *The reason being, I'd want to avoid at-all-costs having Ratty "snuff it" in my roof space, then having the most God- awful smell to contend with a few days later. - Is there anything that can be added to this mixture that would make it extremely enticing to rats and/or mice? *e.g. Powdered parmesan cheese, sugar, salt, a little soy/fish sauce, some type of finely chopped meat (raw or cooked)? *I am just taking a wild guess here, as I don't know what would attract them. - Most of all, would tile grouting powder, used for bathroom tiling, work just as well as cement powder in this D.I.Y. mixture? I really would appreciate some advice. *Thanks. Quite a lot of replies, but I am hoping someone can actually respond specifically to my queries. Where I may place a flour/cement mix, there would be no other animals, only rats or mice. Totally sealing up the roofspace 100% is not a viable option at the moment. |
