It was a comedy. I was working out in the basement. Hooper, who usually runs under the machine, bonking his head, disappeared. I thought, to have a pee. He didn't come back. This was good, as I keep cat toys in the cup holder to throw for him and get him away.
After I was done working out, I went into the litter room. There is a closet that holds the well water pump. Hooper was sitting at the door, listening.
Sure enough, he had found a meadow vole.
This vole was a trooper. Ran out, behind the litter boxes, then into the basement, up and down the baseboard until I caught him and threw him outdoors!

I find them cute critters, although they have a wicked bite. Daisy and Dorah have had bites on their noses. They tunnel under the snow, as well!
Cute little fellow trying to keep war. Looks like it was not afraid to have a go at the cats

skriek!
ReplyDeleteThat would definitely catch a cat's attention!
ReplyDeleteWow, definitely!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I have a vole or a mouse in my floating garden. It's one or the other based on all the tooth marks on my bottom up devoured beets and carrots. I found a nest, but haven't been able to capture the culprit yet. - Margy

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh! I've never seen a vole before. They're cuter than opossums, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would handle one without gloves and even then ...
