Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

[drstratton]

Better than Cats for sure... Charlie is losing his touch, or his bite! He needs some reminders that he is supposed to actually kill the rodents. Worse yet, the mouse bit me while I was rescuing it from him Ungrateful wretch! No blood was drawn, but that’s the first time this has happened. I have had them run up my arm and neck and onto my head before, but I’ve never had one actually try to bite me. I’m sure it’s back inside already, but sheesh, I though I had him better trained. Earlier this year he was making fast efficient kills, dropping them in the designated place in exchange for treats... now we are back to square 1?

Oh my goodness...yes they can bite...my daughter found that out the hard way...lots of blood! I never tried to get a mouse from my cat, I didn't want a mouse to bite me...I let him do his thing! Glad it didn't break the skin!

I'm lagging everywhere too due to babysitting duties. I can read on my phone but if I go to reply weird things happen.

Are you using the app? That is what saved it for me on my phone.

I keep a pair of leather work gloves handy indoors for the purpose of removing mice from the cats.
Yesterday though the handily drove one into a paper bag on the floor. That was easy to scoop up!

I do use the App but the posts go out of order & I lose stuff.

I get that a bit if I reply. There is a little message that says there are posts before your reply that you haven’t read and gives you the option of seeing them. But the message is really small and easy to miss.

That's a great idea! We have a large Gorilla Cart that would work! Thanks!

Wait... is that how you take your gorilla to the vet??

I always refresh the page I was on after I reply. That usually means I don’t miss any messages.

Good catch! My daughter was trying to save the mouse from some kids that were going to send it flying on a frisbee...she grabbed the mouse & it bit her hard, my poor sweet girl. The poor thing was terrified! I don't like to see things suffer, so if I have to put an animal down I do it as humanely as possible...so they never see it coming...not fun, but sometimes necessary...if my husband is around he will usually take care of it for me, but that hasn't always been the case!

I've learned to do this too!
