Imagine the cats walking arrogantly, and suddenly with a "bang", the feet were hit, the embarrassment and helplessness.
The mouse stick does not really stick the mouse. It is actually a trap made of glue or viscous substances to catch mice or other small animals. The cats don’t know this. They just want to walk a few steps gracefully on the floor, but they don’t want to be “pit” by this trap. Let’s see what to do if a cat step on a mouse stick!
Quick Reaction If you find that the cat is stepping on the mouse stick, then the first thing you should do is to quickly remove the cat from the trap. This is not a fun thing. If the cat stays on it for too long, the glue may seep into the cat's hair, causing greater trouble.
Treat with oil or alcohol Once the cat is removed from the trap, it is necessary to start cleaning. Oil or alcohol can be used to help clean up. Oil breaks down glue, while alcohol dilutes. If there is no oil or alcohol, try using flour or vanilla to treat it.
Be careful when cleaning the cat's hair slowly and do not wipe it hard, otherwise it may cause damage to the cat's skin. Clean patiently little by little until all the glue is cleaned.
Sometimes, glue may be difficult to clean, and cats have dense hair. At this time, you need to consider cutting off some of the hair that the cat stepped into a trap. Of course, be careful not to hurt the cat's skin when cutting hair.
Avoid recurrence To prevent cats from stepping on mouse traps again, you can place some protective measures on the floor of your home, such as mats or blankets. This prevents cats from getting into mouse traps. In addition, consider buying some household items that prevent mice from entering.
When a cat steps on a mouse and sticks, you should remain calm and take timely measures to help the cat clean and care. Remember, cats don’t mean to step on the trap, they just want to walk around the comfort of their homes. As owners, we should always pay attention to the behavior and movements of cats to ensure that they can move safely and freely at home. In fact, mouse sticking is not a good choice. While it can help catch mice and other small animals, it can also cause damage to cats' hair and skin. If you find mice or other small animals appearing at home, you can consider other ways to solve this problem, such as using a catcher or repeller.
We can also prevent similar situations by cultivating good habits in cats. For example, regularly trim your cat's nails, provide enough toys and activity space, and conduct appropriate training. All of these can help reduce the risk of cats accidentally stepping on mouse traps.
