Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
If I produced enough feeders I'd be switching the cats to a raw/whole prey diet. They love their raw food when they get it but they haven't had mice in ages. When my mice give birth I might try giving them a pinky mouse or two to see if they will eat them.
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
My cat paid the mice no attention until one of them chewed their way out of the tub and let 2 other loose. I found this out when I came in the room and found white furry puke. Now she comes in handy if one escapes she has it the second it hits the ground and I can usually get them back unharmed if I am quick about it. I give her an extra mouse or two a couple times a week now, I just feed her in the bathroom so she doesn't make a mess.

My sisters old cat was terrified of her hamster.
It was pretty funny seeing the hamster chase the cat.

I can imagine, I have a pit bull that's terrified of ferrets.

watching a guinea pig chase a toy poodle is just as good :)
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
We have three cats and Irene (the one I adopted that hates me) is terrible. If I leave the door open she will sneak into my room while I'm not there because she knows she gets sprayed with water if I catch her messing with my animals. :rolleyes:
The door has been kept closed for months now- Sometimes she will swat at my rats. Plus, she's pushed my male cresties cage over 2 times (from the desk to the floor) and opened it once by pouncing on the top.
Poor little guy has several very tiny scars now from it (I think she reached in and pulled him out of the cage). I'm glad he never recieved any real injuries!
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
My local pet store used to have a store cat that they locked in the bathroom at night because she showed too much interest in the animals, one night they couldn't find her, came in the next morning and she had knocked off the owner's beardie's cage top and killed him, killed several hamsters,rats, gerbils by pulling them through the cages and made a huge mess. She got rehomed after that little stunt. Don't know what they were thinking bringing a cat into the mix to begin with. Oh and they replaced her with a terrier puppy. Can't fix stupid.
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
Cats are hunters and that's what they have done for thousands of years. I have a cat that is a stinker too. I keep all my mouse cages in a dog run. Otherwise he knocks them around and tries to get to them.
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
Yeah this cat of mine is definately a hunter. NO bug in the house has a chance against him. Last night I seperated out males from female babies in my african tanks and now the cat is even more determined to get some. He has multiple tanks and tubs of babies to stare at all day..
I cant close the door to that room because it is directly across the hall from the furnace and is already the hottest room in the houe. It would be 90 degrees in there if I closed that door. Now I make sure all the rodents are very secure. Im picking up a rident rack this week or next so that will eliminate the cat problem and the multiple tanks and tubs problem :)
Re: Oh my god! Ewwwwww! The cat!!
I got a cat after seeing one walking around at NERD. I figured if I ever had an escaped rodent the cat would come in handy. She seemed to have no interest in the mice so I put one on the table with the cat. She didn't even bother to get up! I want to make a saddle for her and train a mouse to ride her like a horse.
