Every fall I go out in the back yard and tell the mice that they can eat all
the birdseed they want and live in the crawlspace under the back room to keep
warm, but if they come in the house there are two cats who, like me, are not
vegetarians and have very sharp claws.

The mice stay out of the house but frequent the bird seed a lot.
