Mice and cardmodels

**doctormax** · #1 09-16-2010, 05:07 PM

Some have the cat menace to the card modeler but I have what can only be called Captain mouse who loves chewing on card models. what is it with him I wonder surely ink on card can't be that tasty to a mouse, he wanders to my build table and takes a look and then he chews upon my builds a little here a little there. Do I need to put down mouse traps now near my card models he seems so interested in them

Build him a paper swiss cheese block, and take a pic of him eating it :D

On second thought, it might be a female looking for nesting material, better get that trap after all...

My suggestion to you would be to get a cat... I have two, and they've never chewed, played with, or done anything more than sniff any model I have ever built. Once you have a cat, no more mouse problem...

Can't get a cat against the rules of the letting and to top it off I am afraid of cats, had a bad experience of a cat when I was a baby

Better call the exterminators.

I have cats in my house, and, (um,) without going into regrettable detail, I think that you are better off dealing with the mouse yourself.

All the years I've modeled in various media, I've always had cats. I had cats before I ever modeled, and I've never had one of them ever do a thing other than sniff. Amazing.

I do have one cat at the moment, who does drag strips of paper (from the floor, she won't get up on my workbench) around the house, but that's it.

Cats are not nice believe me if you have one try to eat you when you were four months old you don't like them
