I hope you're feeling better soon KJ xx

I am always making mistakes on AF with orders, I once ordered 100 packs of cous cous it came in boxes of 10 and there were 2 to each pack and I got all confused i'm still eating it now, 2 years later and probably 3 years out of date! My ds1 always is first to home in on the huge boxes of AF orders and then the first question he asks is "is this in date" haha

Hello.

Lou - they're both lovely and so completely different. He's a big, huggable lump and she's flighty and neurotic...cuddle me but don't hold me!!

Pippi - Her spelling's awful but I should make allowances as she's only 8 months old.

DFW - That's exactly what SB says. No idea why they don't trust their mothers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Need some advice all.

Kittens have just captured another mouse. He's alive and nibbling bread and water in a box away from the crims but he looks like he has a puncture wound through his fur as we can see the tip of a bone.

He's in no apparent pain or distress so do we keep him for the night and pop him back in the fields tomorrow if he looks ok? I know I'm a woose but I hate the idea of anything being frightened and in pain.

What would you do (and I can't go down shovel route so let's not even go there).

thing is mice rats etc tend not to show pain. survival thing. I would leave him in the box - the wound *might* heal but in the meantime he is warm and safe, if probably a bit freaked out.

Hi by the way XX

Oh poor mousey! If it's still alive in the morning and has eaten I would just put it out away from the animals xx

How did mousey get on?

TBH I've tried it many times and they usually end up being caught the next day (as they aren't 100%)

I can cope with dead ones, I can cope with ones live enough to let go .... it's the no-hope ones in between that I really, really hate ..... and yes, I have resorted to the shovel once and it was horrific (but quick and I'm sure kinder for the poor thing)

I can really only afford to stay in my home if I neither eat or put fuel in my car.

mmmm that's not good Beanielou - wish there was something I could do to help. (((hugs))) Hope you figure something out

Ouchie, glad I didn't have to face this very often when I had cats how did it all go? I always heard that if they're in shock, they don't feel pain - and that *does* apply to humans too ... hope it all went okay.

Well mouse is alive. He's eaten all the bread we gave his last night and is snuggled up in one of small boy's (clean) socks.

Put him in the library and give kittens their cat flap privileges back.

The stress of motherhood is overwhelming

Perhaps you can buy him a little hamster cage and keep him as a pet it sounds like you've become quite attached

kissjenn

Hate to admit that I was having similar thoughts DF(no W).

But .... What happens when they spot him does the poor wee thing live in fear and do we just keep adding cages as the conquests grow?

I'm off for lunch with SB in a moment and we'll ponder it over.

A mouse rescue centre...first time for everything
