whenever the cats start paying attention to places other than the pantry door

especially if they hunker down and meow (or nurgle quietly!! know what I mean) I go find the mice/rat-feed-traps, check if the old ones in those spots are really all gone or too old to kill, and renew.

Coupladays, and mild ponggg!? remove dead mice.

From time to time I even need to put such traps in the roof!!! On feline indicator behaviour.

As a couple, our first two furries, were the Brown Burmese, registered as Shukisha Pierrot and S' Pirouette, known to US as Pouncer and Pretty Puss. Tisha had been pregnant with Robert and was doing her Graduate Diploma in Cwlth Admin. Law when we got them and they loved to sit in her lap in the study - listening to two heartbeats - while they were still kittens.

After he was born they used to carry out (large and pink) kitten watch for us and come warn us whenever something had changed. They would coem up the hall and stand in it, visible through the FR door, looking concerned and agitato, where we might be watching telly OR into the LR if it was music.

Say:- he had colic yet again and was building up to a screaming session, or is breathing had changed, or he was nurgling to himself in his sleep, or babbling, OR throwing bed clothes off and out of his cradle, incipient crying, etc!

My MIL (GRHS!) wanted to buy us a monitor thingie, you know the kind that keep you on tenterhooks - 'all day and all of the night!'? - but we (I actually) 'passed' on the offer.

One evening, Pat aka Pink* Pat, came to baby sit. I was at work taking cabinet submissions to all relevant Department head's and Tish was at UC for atute. And, Pat was kept up to speed by Robert's loving furrie siblings!

* JBTW Being a bit 'left' is a public, proud, normal, and quite natural PoV in nearly all the democracies that I know of.
