Cat-related horrors

[cagey2]

So yesterday I was woken at 6am by DD crying because cat had found and was torturing a mouse. Mouse was apparently dealt with by DH and a few hours later I went to Sainsbury's which was if course in pre-Christmas crush. Half way down the cracker isle I thought "My toe feels funny" as if there was something else in my boot with my foot. Words cannot describe my HORROR when I took off my boot to shake out what I thought might be a lost sock from the laundry and out fell the mouse! Alive and crazy it ran up the aisle and started a huge commotion. I was trembling so much I had to lean on the cracker shelf for support, meanwhile poor Sainsbury's now have ruined reputation for poor pest control.

Oops - although the poor thing has probably died of fright by now.

Worst here is we had a new, slightly scared, kitten once and, it finally popped up onto DH's chest late one night and started marching. "Oh look, kitten prefers me", says DH. "How cute", says DH. "Why is my chest now warm and wet?" asks DH...

I may have laughed rather hard as he dashed off to the bathroom to remove widdle-soaked clothes and shower. Funnily enough, he was never quite that smug about cat favouriting again after that one.

cagey

Can't believe you let a mouse loose in Sainsburys and that the poor thing had to be near your toes for that amount of time

I've got that moose loose about the hoose song on my head now

That has to be one of the best stories I've read in a long time. I can just picture a poor terrified mouse racing down the aisle of Sainsbury and a load of hysterical people screaming and abandoning their trolleys

I wouldn't worry about the mouse incident. A few years ago I was in Sainsburys and a lady was standing peering at the bottom of the counter. I looked at her, wondering if she was going to move and she turned to me and said she had just seen a mouse run underneath it.

I decided to check my son's homework diary one morning to make sure I had signed it, pulled it out of his bag and a live mouse was clinging to the spiral binding! I'm so thankful he didn't discover it in school!

Also DD came to wake me up at the weekend as she said there was a mouse in the kitchen - I asked her if it was alive or dead and she said 'I think it's dead, it's head isn't stuck on its body any more ...'

I can't imagine witnessing this. I'm glad you're ok OP I hope you can look back on this and laugh.

I've told this story on here before but...

Thanks to Brucecat bringing in a mouse once, and us trying to humanely catch it in an empty cereal box, after it had hidden under the sofa, it instead darted for the closest dark tunnel to hide in..... my trouser leg.

I stood up and shook my trouser leg. It climbed higher.

Laughing his head off, DH came over and started shaking my trouser leg too. It climbed higher and higher until there was only one thing to do. I unzipped my fly, reached in and removed the mouse by hand.

Then had a loooong shower!

Eek Dr!
