Husband dealt with it as I pretended to be asleep when eldest came in to announce it at 6.30am. They know to go to husband not me! I don't do mice or rats.

He took baby down the road and put it under a tree. It hasn't come back through our cat flap.

Every time I put something out I am on edge waiting for it to reappear. Worst case, dead baby bunny presented around 9am, put out & represented with ever decreasing body parts. I went on hols that day and our house sitter moved in. Cat brought in another dead bunny which was removed. Another appeared so cat flap shut. Cat is trying to demolish cat flap so cat flap opened and house sitter gave up and went to bed. 5 dead in the lounge in the morning

I had great aunt who kept a shop at Bowness-on-Windermere, but lived in a small cottage outside of the town. Her feral barn cat used to bring her adult rabbits that she would gut, skin and cook, then share with the cat. He used to lay them on the doorstep, though; he didn't come inside the house.

Ours brought one in live once. I opened the front door and it hopped down the hall and back outside.

Never mind cats my pony is in deep sh1t.
Last night he has knocked down an electric fence allowing himself to reach the YOs washing line over a solid fence. He has stolen the YOs duvet off the line and has been running round the field playing with it and there are bits of stuffing all over the place.
Edited it as hadn't got full story before. For god's sake pony you always get in bother.

@Gloi I think he needs his own post with pictures. What did the neighbour say?
I've not spoken to the YO yet to see what sort of duvet I owe her.
I'm not sure I should give him a post it might encourage him. I did read an article recently though saying horses are never naughty just misunderstood. I wasn't entirely convinced.

I wonder what deeper meaning stealing a duvet to play with could have? a desperate need for more marshmallows in his diet, lack of bed linen based stimulation, waving the white flag of surrender?

Cat is in trouble I'm away this week so he went on a rampage last night at least 4 mice in various bits were found and photographed and a lamp was over turned. We really need new carpets as the current ones now have ingrained mouse and cat blood. I'm thinking we'll just have to lino the whole lot at least it's wipe clean.

Thought there was an odd smell. Sitting on the sofa an unpleasant odour hit my nostrils! Tipped over one of them and ?. Rotting, maggotty pigeon. I guess that's the baby from the other day. How no-one else noticed the pong this evening I don't know. I know feel yukky and itchy after cleaning it up.

You’re not the only one. We had the sofas upended yesterday trying to find the smell. I think a mouse has died inside one of them ?

They probably did notice but kept quiet so they didn't have to deal with it, knowing you would ?
