Hey /an/! Talec !gKQv5IanZU
I desperately needs a mouser, or, quite possibly, just a cat whose presence will keep mice in the walls.

Wish me luck on my Caturday hunt for a new pet cat! :3 And yes, I'm looking in shelters. ^.^

good luck!

personally, i would like a domestic rat snake that could live around in the house... actually crawl into the mouseholes and kill them all at the source.

but i cant get the snake to stick around... would be cool, though.

Aww. Post pics when you find one!

I'm back~

We (my parents and I) put in an application for a brother-sister pair who had to be adopted together. :3 I forgot to bring my camera, so I don't have any pictures of them (they're sweet <3), so I googled some similar cats up.

They were all so cute ;-; Even the one who gave me a bloody scratch -.o

The brother is straight-black, looks fairly similar to pic, and we'll probably name him Raven. (It's our long-standing pet-naming tradition to name animals after other animals)

Not to be a killjoy, but be careful of letting the cats eat the mice. My childhood cat got all kinds of parasites from eating mice and gave me ringworm.

Sister-kitty is the most passive cat that's still alive I've ever encountered, but that may just be due to her recent spaying. I've never seen a straight-grey cat before, she is so pretty :D Same color as pic-kitty.

My parents plot to name her Rhino. I'mma see if I can convince them to use Ceros instead. ;/

-nods- I didn't let my previous hunter eat them, either (not even the chipmunk she killed when she was old and nearly infirm. Pic related. -.o)

I only bother to give cool names to the males. My male cat is Attila. He enjoys raep, pillage, and getting in ur base and killin ur dudez. Next male pet I get will be called Hannibal. Then Caesar, Genghis, etc.

No Napoleons though. I refuse to insult my pets by naming them after any Frenchman.

The females I just give typical female pet names to since there aren't any cool wimenz to name them after.

Napoleon wasn't french. He was from Korsica (sp?). Which might explain why he refused to surrender.

there're adoption fees at the shelters around here. $60 to take something they're going to kill in a few days anyways

Aye, these two were $100 together. But they're so cute. <3 (Also they've been checked out by a vet, spayed/neutered, and prolly some other things, and those cost quite a bit more than $100 to do ourselves. So it's all good.)

It's sad that Americans know so little about Corsica. The US Constitution was largely copied from the Corsican one...

What is it with cats and having certain pairs needing to be adopted together?

I have never heard of this with dogs and they are actual pack animals.

just give them Viking names like Brunhild and Thordis.

rescues mainly say this when the person who is adopting the cat won't be home enough when it's a kitten. when cats are adults, they can be alone more, but when they are kittens, they need the companionship. Plus, it makes them more social and therefore better pets

2 resons:
1. so scientific companies dont pick them up and torture them for reearch
2. so they know whoever adopts them gives a damn

point being, in the shelter's mind dead > shitty home/abuse

Yeah, then it'd get into a vent, and die. Or get stepped on, and die. Or egt stuck somewhere, and die. It wouldn't have the proper heating, substrate or humidity, either, thusly making its life a living hell.

the reason animal shelters need an adoption fee is to fund their otherwise profit free and very costly operation, it's not like you just bought the thing for $60, it's a donation. It's so hard working at an animal shelter because you have to see pets get killed everyday, and your soul grows cold after a while

lol this is 4chan you don't have to cite anything :P

Do you have big rats or just small mice? Rats are disgusting but I don't find the mice that scary. They're cute little critters that I might even consider keeping as pets if I ever catch one. The only time they scare me a bit is when I'm walking and they suddenly run out from nowhere.

My mom however, has to stand on the table whenever she realizes there is a mouse in the house, she said she developed the phobia when she was young. One day she was just walking and suddenly stepped on this running rat and killed it, what are the odds lol

bah, I'll cite what I please~ XP

They're mostly tiny mice (like pic), they are so cute >>; but the last two I've encountered were a little smaller than the one in your pic.

They're stealing my ramen and my cookies >( Also they make a lot of noise... having parties in the walls and crashing into pots and jars in the kitchen. D:

VILE FIEND! How dare you harm the innocent mice?

When I was imprisoned for 10 years in a Japanese military prison, my freedom and dignity were stripped from me and I was not treated as a human being. Can you imagine living in a dark and wet bunker cell for 10 years? I have thought about killing myself many times, the only thing that kept me alive was Jimmy. Jimmy was but a tiny little mouse the size of a peanut when I first met him. He was cautious at first but we quickly became the best of friends. I have always shared the little food i have with him and sometimes he would even bring me pieces of food he found from the prison's kitchen. While the guards brutally tortured me everyday, Jimmy's presence would always make the sorrow disappear. For those 10 years, jimmy was more of a human being than anyone.

Finally, one day, American soldiers came to the prison and freed me. I felt so alive after seeing the sunlight again. I went back to look for Jimmy and hopefully take him back to live with my in Kansas and enjoy the good life, no more stealing and hiding, no more torture and pain, we are going to live with dignity and freedom! But as I went into the kitchen, what I saw crushed me forever. There in the corner of the kitchen, was Jimmy, lying beneath the cold steel of a rat trap...not moving, not breathing...

Besides, I'm using plastic containers and MAD REFLEX SKILLS, not traps. Traps ftl. Then they go outside.

I've got ten mice in an aquarium in my bedroom right now.

...A week's worth of feeders for my kingsnake and Savannah, ftw.

Fuck mice, they're nasty creatures.

Oh shush. Even /if/ we killed them all, their friends who live outside would just move in anyway. It's better to keep them intimidated into submission, than persecuted and rebellious. Or, you know, whatever. :D

Sounds like you need to call a fucking exterminator. That's what they're for, you know.

And if you're worried about them getting killed, call Animal Control.

I love cats. After my parent's nasty divorce I had to move to a different state & a run downed rented house/apartment deal. Full of roaches. Spraying, roach motels did nothing.

Once we took in a stay that just wouldn't leave it'd constantly play with and chase the roaches until they never showed their faces again.

I had a mouse that infiltrated my apartment last fall and made my life HELL for MONTHS. Any food, trash, utensils left exposed would be torn into, dragged off, or worse shit on. One time it even managed to lay a turd on my TOOTHBRUSH. Traps didn't work and I despaired of any solution. And then...
During the rainy week recently I found myself at home much more than usual in the daytime, and much to my surprise, found the mouse running across my counters in broad daylight and down into my large steel sink probably in order to sneak a drink. Well, with what could only be described as extraordinary luck, I was able to run to the sink before the mouse could get out and pin his stinking verminous body down with a spray bottle. There he was, the one responsible for my torment, the late night rustlings that kept me awake, the disrespect of my space and property, the spreader of filth and disease. His verminous eyes, devoid of intelligence jet black and glistening looking up at me, his hind legs splayed out behind the bottle. What to do now? There was no way that I could let it go now. Not after all this time all the damage the two inch terror had wrought. Casting my eyes about the counter i quickly scooped up a knife and WHACK WHACK... off came it's hind legs. Not completely severed but almost, hanging on by the dermis. Blood welled from the wounds, but less than I hade expected. Having ensured the creature could no longer escape, I released the spray bottle, then paused wondering what would be a suitable torment in retribution for all I had suffered.

Well...as I had been TERRORIZED for so long long it seemed fitting that punishment should be meted out as for all terrorists WATERBOARDING would be the method. With the mouse feebly attempting to crawl up the steep sides of the sink, I filled a large glass with water from the tap and proceeded to pour the liquid over it's head. This method worked quite well, inundating it's mouth and nostrils so that it was unable to take a more than an occasional breath try as it might to avoid the stream of water. I kept this up for perhaps fifteen minutes, pausing only when it's struggling grew weak and it seemed in danger of losing consciousness. The bleeding from it's severed legs had, remarkably stopped, and expecting that it might be better to allow it to recover for a few minutes before continuing I stepped away from the sink to browse /b/.

When I returned to the sink, the mouse had gone into shock. It's forelegs and head quivering uncontrollably in small spasmodic rhythms. My joy welled forth at this unexpected display and many lulz were had.

After what seemed a timeless moment of voyeuristic enjoyment, I realized that the mouse was beyond suffering it's verminous brain most likely already shutting down from abuse and stress. I picked up the spray bottle again and with slow grinding pressure, crushed it's skull.

I think this was a better solution than a cat.
