Most people’s cats find mice in their homes.
Mine just found a hamster.
I had also added a paper towel and plan to add shreds of another if she doesn’t start shredding them herself in the next hour.
She has had 1.5 pecans and 3 small blueberries and 3 leaves of spinach, which had some water on them, so I’m holding off on figuring out another way to get her water for a little bit. She has peed and pooped.
I’m not sure what else to do for her? Should I put a towel in there for her? I’m worried she’ll be able to try harder at the lid with extra padding in the bottom, but I weighted it down already to be sure she couldn’t knock it off and to block more light as it has a glass panel in the center. I’m worried the shiny walls are bad for her, so she’s in a mostly dark corner where I can still watch to make sure the cats don’t knock the lid off trying to look at her closer. They weren’t really trying to get her, just trying to watch her and sniff her but I’m keeping them away so she doesn’t panic and have a hear attack.
We’re planning to knock on the neighbors’ door tomorrow morning to see if she’s their pet? If she is a pet, which seems likely, she’s not allowed under the lease terms of this building, so we’re trying to avoid involving the landlord until we’re sure she’s not a pet so she doesn’t get taken away. But I’m also curious how she got in and if we have a hole in our cabinets through the wall that needs patched. If there is one, it’s down behind a gap in the liner they stuck to the bottom of the cabinets, it was sagging on one side like a rodent had just squeezed over the top
