Build a better mousetrap...

I think its time to find a mousetrap! We have a very faithful barn cat, but one cat can only eat so much. We would just add cats, but she is also a very territorial barn cat, and won't tolerate other cats in HER barn.

I went out to the barn at 5:00 in the afternoon, and found these 7 little visitors in the corn. They managed to get in, but couldn't get out. Very cute...but very gross! I brought the cat into the feed room and tipped the can so the mice could get out. She caught two right away, and was hunting the others when I left. My younger siblings reacted in very different ways...Some wanted to get the bb gun and shoot them in the can, others thought I should take them outside and release them. Oh well, tonight I will go to the feed store and get a "tin cat" mouse trap (it's supposed to catch up to 30 mice). Once they are caught, I have no clue what I will do with them...but they are definately going to move off the property!
