most (sleepless) nights I finally gave up and brought the little monster a bell. Now I have sleepless nights as the bell ding ding dings whenever he moves:(
Oh well at leats there are no dead mice decaying any more:)
Last weeks total:
12 mice (he plays with them until they run and hide or die of fright)
2 sparrows (these he eats, all That its left is a pile of fethers)
here he is looking all spiffy in his new collar with bell

I love cats. I would get one, but the Air Force won't let me have one in the dorms.

There are few homeless cats that raid the dumpsters around here on base, but off base you see them once in awhile. Pets are expensive here. Off topic: A daschaund (sp?) can cost up to $1000 in the pet stores. In one of the pet stores there is a monkey for sale. They also have squirrels, chipmunks, and other rodent animals.

Nice studs on the collor! very stylish and tough.
Gives your cat some good street creed.. :rolleyes:
Both my cats have bells, but they have learned to keep thier heads down so its muffeled by thier fur. They still run into the house jingling away with a mouse or bird in the mouth.
It has a good cute factor but thats about im afraid.

Now I'm just waiting to see if you put a Nissan Skyline GTR t-shirt on him in the winter.

He prefers to sleep on my Nismo jacket with SDUNZ logo on it:(

I've thought about getting both a cat and a dog. I don't do either, because while a cat would be good for me, in that cats are generally low-maintenance and don't demand attention, I do have a slight allergy to them that acts up if I'm around them for too long (and the idea of a cat scratching its claws on my $1,600 leather couch makes me cringe). As for dogs, I would love to get either a golden retriever or a pit bull if I could get one at a very young age (less than a month), but a dog requires a lot of attention.
In either case, a pet also requires a certain degree of responsibility, requiring that you keep your living space climate controlled to be safe and comforable for them, and spontaneous weekend getaways are a thing of the past unless you can make arrangements for your pet as well. However, I'm sure if I were to break down and get one, the positives would easily outweigh the drawbacks. Until then, I'll be happy with my home companion - a wild chive plant, and let me tell you, it is about the ultimate, in terms of being low maintenance.

At least he's a cute monster! Our monsters seem to prefer pretty coloured birds to mice. :rolleyes:

he was funny last night. Trying to get his collar off he caught his lower jaw on it and kept on running away when I went to help him. Made his meow sound really strange:D

reminds me of a site a cat-loving freind sent to me
www.mycathatesyou.com
quite amusing for people who like cats, personally I think they are of the devil, which I can respect, but cannot have in my home....
I'm a dog person plain and simple....It feels so good to be worshipped:D Im not the kind of person who caters to feline needs.....my last cat pissed all over my floor/bed/beanbag chair.......he now resides in a home that is willing to kiss his furry ass......as I refused to do such :rolleyes:

So it's a competition now huh?
when Little E (named after Dale Ernhardt Jr) was younger I came home from work to find a Quails head on the floor besdie a pile of feathers. The strange part is no one has ever seen a quail around here before or since that incident.
I guess after quail mice just dont taste right and hence the reason he oly "plays" with them
