Last year our house had a minor mouse problem. There was this little fuzzy grey ball that was hiding behind our furniture and in the walls. We called in the exterminators - they set out glue traps. We caught the little bugger.
Then another.
And another.
And another.
And a huge dark grey one.
There was a nest.
Living out in the country, this is a constant problem. Critters love coming into your casa, and take up residence without realizing what an inconvience it is for the owners. It's rather frustrating - but at least the glue traps were humane, and we could dispose of them short after the new residents became stuck.
Side story: since she was a little girl, my mom has been deathly allergic to animals. She couldn't be in the same room as one for less than a minute before getting all congested.
Last February (one year and about two months ago), we got the blessing to go and sit at the pet store. If my mom could handle sitting in there for one hour, and due to the recent residents, we could get a cat.
This is Cozette. She was timid at first, startled to be in a new environment. According to the woman we adopted her from, her previous owners dumped her on the street - since she had indoor manners. She was found behind a dumpster at a restaurant.
It took her a while to slowly adjust to her new surrounds.
Though her favorite spot seemed to be my hoodie (which is still MIA, Cozy, what did you do to it!)
She did love being bundled in her towel. It made the blue of her eyes pop like crazy.
Though, this bed didn't go over well with her.
Please - adopt a pet.
They need more love than anyone else. They were abandoned by people they trusted. It may take a while, but once they trust you their love is unconditional.
