Rodent damage

[agg221]

We experience most of the local wildlife courtesy of the cat, who is prepared to try most things once. I didn't appreciate the enormous rat left halfway up the stairs with a broken back. She's left them alone since, or at least dealt with them outside. She leaves hedgehogs and frogs alone now, and having proved she could leap high and fast enough to catch a bat she's decided they're not worth it. Hopefully has given up on the slow worms after the last one hissed at her in the hallway. Fortunately she doesn't seem too keen on the grass snakes - round here they're up to about 5ft long so it would be impressive to see her dragging one in, although unlike with the weasel I might need something larger than a welly to get it back out in.

I have 2 and one of them is a house cat and rarely goes out.

The other, also a posh thoroughbred, thinks it is a leopard and kills rabbits of all ages.

He only eats the heads and the dogs then clean up the rest.

Wont touch rats though and there are a lot about here at the moment.

Killing 2 or 3 each day.

Rabbits have all disappeared round here though and its not the cat because I have seen no corpses
