One down....

I have been aware that we have rodents in part of the house. Old house, empty too long before we came. I dared not use poison because of the critters.
Last week, I had to decide to let the dogs sleep in a rather fine newish wooden shed; renamed the annex...Hated doing it, but collie is getting very cranky in her old age and barking half the night for no reason; barking is her hobby.. Sleep deprivation was starting to do strange things to me...It was either the dogs or me move to the shed.
They love it; a bale of hay and a good feed.
So now the cats have the run of the whole house all night long.. collie also hates the cats so they live upstairs.
Both cats ( litter mates) are keen hunters. this morning I found a dead rodent on the kitchen floor. Great! Soon the rest of them will be racing down the lane waving a white flag..NB not about to ID the rodent either. Maybe a fat mouse, or a small rat.
They used to bring their dead prey into my bed but we sorted that...
