Guys, stop and reread the first sentence:
quote:

My wife and I live in the country.


Now, get real. Anyone who lives in the country will have mice find their ways into their houses. Mice are not brilliant but some of them will keep trying until they find access.

The cats will clear houses of mice. Yes, they may bring some in as well as other critters, but country living has these things.

Without cats (or even without small aggressive terriers) you will have critter problems. And if you have mice, black snakes will come in and hunt between rafters in your attic.

The dog's water bowl and food are mice magnets.

I did read the first sentence.

I'm on 200 acres. I'm in the country.

We don't have mice in our home. We spray for that sort of shite. If they are in the walls, they are awfully quiet.

Being "In the country" is not an excuse for being fricking gross.

Crisis averted. The female cat who is a certified mouse and snake killer, was able to find it and kill it. The male orange was totally disinterested in finding the lost mouse. The wife is happy again.

Leave the cats indoors.
Seriously.
They're fine.

Sounds like you have a wife problem, not a pet problem

Get rid of automatic cat door. Don’t let them bring critters in your house.
I would never have a cat but we have/had 3-5 dogs at any point me time and the dog door is the only thing that makes it doable. My dogs need zero supervision except food and water

the occasional lizard/squirrel/bird in the house is absolutely the cost of doing business

Just leave the cats outside you nasty fricker


On second thought, you should move outside with them, that’s where you likely belong

The wife is correct.
Indoor/outdoor cats are a bad choice which the mouse demonstrated.
Your only proper response is, "Yes, dear."
Besides, it is undefeated...

You’ve got to have an inside cat or an outside cat. Can’t have one doing both.

Oh well. The whole house is hardwood laminate and that's why they make Clorox wipes. It's not ideal, but I like those little frickers.

My Great Aunt solved her pest problem. Cats started bringing home live mice. That wasn’t good enough, they started bringing home snakes. Then they graduated to live snakes. She kept a broom on the front porch to sweep the snakes off the porch. Bear Bryant came to recruit my cousin. My cousin left the room for a few minutes. When he returned to the room, my great aunt was coming back into the house with broom in hand…..Bear was gone.
“Where’s Coach?’ He asked

“He had to leave Suddenly and the womanizing drunk SOB is never coming back.’”

Pest problem solved.
