And could that be because you have cats??? ;o)
LOL, we had a small black female cat who was a ferocious mouser. My "backyard neighbor" was "not a cat person", but she used to visit his yard and watch his activities when he was out tending flowers, etc, so he came to sort of enjoying having her around. He later commented that he "used to see mice, but no longer did". That little girl lived to be 22 years old.
