Just a note your cat needs to learn to catch and eat mice. They will naturally chase and catch anything that moves but they need to learn to do the coop de gras. I lost my "Moose" kitty this spring to an automobile and he left no mice to live within 1/2 mile of my house. I shall miss him so much. I built this bed today for him to be buried in. I have planned to put a bird feeder, Squirrell feeder, and I suspect that the mice will visit the feeders this winter. I still have a back up cat Badger who grew up in a barn and learned all the "Coop de Gras" stuff too. It is always best to get a cat about 3 to 6 months old from a barn or other area that they have learned the skill and have been handled by people so they live to cuddle.
