I had cat #1 for years. Never in the time I had him was any mouse ever heard of or seen.  I  then brought in another young cat.  I had no idea there were any mice around until cat #2 came in.  He was amazing.  It was like he could charm mice out of the walls.  His ears would perk up and he would stand in the middle of the room like in a trance. One time he got one that screamed. It was really quite upsetting. We love out cats, but it is upsetting when they do their "thing".

It´s difficult to watch cats and mice, but that´s nature. Too many mice can be a real problem.  Then you could join this rat and mouse rescue organization.

I released about 1,500 ladybugs in my garden the other night in order to control aphid infestation.  They were released with great care to follow the instructions.  The last couple of mornings there have been a lot of birds in my garden.....the cycle of life goes on.

 Where did you get the ladybirds from?  Does someone breed them?  

 Ladybugs...not ladybirds....you can buy them in nurseries here...or mail order them.  I also got some trichogramma and lacewing eggs....and a worm composter.  As you have probably guessed, I´m doing it the "natural" way.

I thought ladybug was an American term for ladybird...what´s the difference?

Found this amazing site with photographs of insects...and other things.

 Ha ha ha....so you call them ladybirds....that was President Johnson´s wife´s nick name.  She only recently passed away.  She was famous for saving wildflowers.

What would you do???  

 There is no difference! 

 Nice idea but would it work?  I could never abandon my family so I would have to say no I would not do that!!! But............. if I was single and had no ties, you would find me in Thailand, sunning myself on the beach  thinking about how big a boat I should buy............
