critters...

Funny...
For the past few weeks, I have caught Kyle...
(a.k.a. our "kitty", now almost a full grown cat)...
staring up at the ceiling -

At first, I thought he was seeing spider webs, he was looking in the corners (spring, spiders on the move?)
Then I thought, bats in the belfry? (meaning his belfry?)

I even asked him if that was what was going on as he seemed so "dis-tracted"...

One day last week - he was looking up at the ceiling and his head was darting from side to side...
a lot...

I finally got it - critters in the attic!

OK - I have cellulose insulation - how will I find a thing in that?
Next question - squirrels? Chipmunks? mice?

I covered all bases - bought 2 mouse traps, 2 boxes of d-con and a "rat" trap (big enuf to catch a squirrel.) Aaron also set the "small animal live trap" just in case and a prayer went up that there are no "babies" in a nest.

Aaron checked every fifteen minutes the first night - nothing.

By day two - 2 mice after school.

One more this weekend.
(Gotta admit - they sure are cute... as long as they are in the attic or dead)

Kitty's head was calm this morning when I left for work...
I am hoping the critters are gone...
I am hoping that there are no 'babies" ...
please stand by...
