catch and release story

[VeganD]

I have something called a catcher well that’s just the name i like to call it its like a little see through plastic tub I use to catch insects fly’s or anything I can catch around the home then I release them outside

Yesterday my cats were going crazy so I new there had to be a mouse some where in the home so when I was sitting down it came right up by me but the time I got my catcher out it was gone again so I lost it

So I called the cats back in to find it once they found it I put them back out and tried again after hours of pulling all kinds of things out i.e. cookers refrigerator hard work as well I still didn’t catch it then I waited and it came out this time it went into something I had on the floor I then trapped it in there got it in my catcher took it to the park and let it go

I feel so proud of my self for doing it I know a lot of scum out there would have just killed it flat out but not me I felt good and sad about letting it go

good because I just saved it from being killed by my cats and sad that I had to put it out in the cold when another cat could get it

Bless it when I took it to the park and opened the top of my catcher it didn’t want to get out it just stayed there so sweet

Well that’s my catch and release story

That's strange. I just posted a message and it hasn't shown up. Unless I didn't press the post button. But I'm sure I did.

I wrote: Good for you. That was a lucky mouse to have been found by you and not someone else, who might have killed it. It has a good chance now in the wild.

I also wrote: If I am going to write something long I always do it in Notepad and then copy and paste it. I should have done that the first time I wrote this. Just to make sure I am going to copy this before posting.

Good for you, VeganD. We had a mouse/rat problem and I refused to kill them. We went through quite a bit to get them out safely and haven't seen any since.
Stories like this are so nice to hear, compared to all the nastiness in the world.
Thanks for sharing it.

Well done, VeganD! :nanakiss: A very lucky little mouse. :)

I have moved this thread to the Animals In Our Lives section as it seems to fit in well here with some of the other stories. Hope that's OK with you? :crossfingers: :)

That's sweet, VeganD. The mouse is lucky. :agree:

We have a resident mouse that lives in the backyard - it doesn't ever come in the house (as far as we can tell). But that's probably because we have rats that live in the ceiling! :rofl:
