Hi Miles,
Try using 110 card stock for the mouse.
It will last at least a minute. ( HA HA )
Best Regards,
Gary

Dear Gary:
That was with 110# card stock, and Bella is declawed to boot (We got her that way) It was the two cats with part of the mouse in jaws at same time doing tug of war.
Grin,
Miles

Am not surprised! Anything filled with catnip in this house disintegrates very rapidly.


Well, we haven't found a home for the stray who is boarding and she has just had 3 kittens. Fortunately, the local vet has a scheme for the kittens.

We keep them and habituate them until they are 6 weeks - they then go to the vet who in the meantime has a team who screens possible adoptees. They are them placed and the people who have them are then visited for the next few months to see all is well.

Hi Miles,
I understand what you say about catnip and your kitties.
Here,,, Brumby and Callie both have to get their own
pile of nip to eat.
They then roll in it and after that are like a couple
of high hippies doing what comes to their minds.
LOVE MY BABIES.
Best Regards,
Gary

PS,,, I thought about you when the MN Vikings were playing the
Buffalo Bills.

Hi Kevin,

I think that's so great what you and the folks in your country do for your kitties.
PLEASE let us know how it goes for them.
And PLEASE post some pictures of them with their mom if you can.
Best Regards,
Gary

Hi Kevin, THANKS for sharing the pictures of your MOMMY kitty and her three babies. They are SO cute.
PLEASE post more if you can.
I showed the pictures to my wife and she said,,,
If we lived closer to you,,,
we would take them all into our home.
Hope you find a home for these beautiful kitties.
Best Regards,
Gary

Hi Neil,
I'm glad to hear that you and Carol
feel the same as Patti and I do.
We need to win the lottery so we can
buy an aircraft to transport kitties to
our homes.
That would be so nice.
Best Regards,
Gary

Dear Gary;
what is the size of your outdoor cat houses? We have a stray moving in looks like and if I can get some foam board cheap I might try to make one to go on the porch for him or her
Thanks
Miles
