Very early this morning I noticed the cat was watching something in the grass.  I wandered over and saw a shrew nosing around. Rather than leave it to the cats doubtful mercy, I caught it in my hands and carried it to safety. For the whole of the time I was carrying it, it kept biting me! When I've rescued mice, they always just sit in my hands and wait, but this shrew had a real attitude problem!  I'm just glad it was so small it didn't really cause that much hurt. pete inthehills _________________ Pete www.beggshillbothy.co.uk Back to top Maria Moderator Joined: 10 Sep 2008 Posts: 1908 Location: Huntly-ish Posted: Thu Nov 05, 2009 6:42 pm    Post subject: I think my female cat is getting fat on shrews. She's a real huntress...and always seem to be chasing something.    Hasn't stopped us having mice(?) in the shed, nibbling away at boxes, bike seat ect.   _________________ Better late than never!
