If you are looking for a natural way to get rid of mice, you may consider getting a cat. But how do you know your cat will catch mice?

Not all cats are natural mousers. Some cats will actually ignore mice, especially cats which have always lived indoors and have not been exposed to any type of hunting games or toys.

Here are a Few Tips to Select A Cat That Will Catch Mice

1. Talk to your local humane society or shelter. They will know the cat’s background and should be able to recommend a cat with good instincts.

2. A few good hunting breeds include:
• American Short hair
• Bengal
• Burmese
• Maine Coon
• Persian
• Siamese
• Siberian
But more important than the breed are the behaviors.

3. Look for a cat that has lived outside for some time. Being outside hones their hunting skills.

4. Many communities have a large population of barn cats in need of a good home.

5. Female cats are also rumored to be better mousers.

6. Look for a cat that is attentive, always keeping an eye on you.

7. Before you finalize the adoption, spend some time & play with the cat. If she is gets excited stalking, chasing and catching her toys, that's a good sign.

Toys to bring out the hunting instinct include: feather wands, treat toys, balls, string toys & of course toy mice!

Having a cat on your property is one of the most natural ways to get rid of mice and you will have a loving companion for life!
