How Do I Get Rid of This Kitchen Rodent?!

My Life

5 Sep

Hi! Happy long weekend to my American friends! Happy random blog post day to everyone else!

So… the ants are almost under control. It’s going to take about 2 weeks though. They’ll be gone for a bit and then be back the next day. Fantastic.

And now I have some kind of other infestation…

I’m still missing a drawer from trying to paint the kitchen last weekend. One drawer fell apart and needs to be fixed. So for right now there is a hole in the wall where that drawer belongs.

And something has decided to make itself at home in that hole!!!

Ha! Vegas is always doing funny things. I am not like a super weird cat lady, I’m only a semi-weird cat lady. This means I don’t treat Vegas like a king – I treat him like a court jester there to entertain me – and he really does!!

The other day I put him in a clear tupperware storage container and he started purring?! I think he likes when I mess with him. It’s how I show love.

I don’t know where I was going with this but yeah. He’s funny.

Okay wait. I just realized I am a super weird cat person because I stopped to say ‘hi’ to Toby on my run yesterday. I will admit that is creeper status.

After my run I did a short yoga video…

And I have been craving Yogurtland like crazy so I had to get some. Those are some good eats!!

It is soooo sooo soooo gorgeous here this weekend.

Now I’m headed to a BBQ with my family. What are you up to this weekend??

Question: Do you think I should get another cat so I’ll have twice as much entertainment?

    I have a random cat on my route that I stop and say hi to when he’s out. He lives behind me and sometimes comes to my back porch to visit!! There is also another cat that likes to hang out on top of my storage building and he drives my dog crazy! They just want to hang out close to me. Maybe I’m the cat whisperer…..

    I LOVE cats. I think my cat Shadow is the most adorable thing in the world and I have well over 1000 photos of her on my phone… Maybe it makes me sound crazy, but I can’t help but love my little ball of fluff <3 So I understand.

    This sounds weird, but we use to put cucumber peels down to get rid of ants. It worked really well. I’m not sure why it works though.

    It seems to me that when people have two cats, one of them adopts an opposite personality compared to the other. If one cast is social, the other one will be shy. And I see that case ALL the time.

    No I want Yogurtland too… lol

    17 years ago just before my husband died he told me I can never have more than one cat if I ever wanted to get married again. He was being sarcastic but serious at the same time. He didn’t want me to become the crazy widowed cat lady. At the time I only had one cat. I never did get any additional cats.

      That’s solid advice 😉 Kidding! It’s sweet that he was able to joke with you about that. Also, amazing that you can talk about it with such a sweet heart and happy memories <3

    Cats are so entertaining! The cats at my mother’s house always want in the kitchen cabinets and drawers anytime one of them is open. I’m actually visiting CA for the first time this week! We are staying in Oakland and visiting San Francisco and Napa area. It’s a lot different here in the West than in AR or TX.
