So my 2 year old cat had a major personality flip yesterday night and I traced it down to her catching scent of mice in certain parts of the house (found mice poop in the back of drawers). She absolutely goes crazy whenever she catches scent of other animals. Last time this happened it was because of compost I used while gardening. She goes into full blown anxiety mode and starts showing redirected aggressive behaviors.
I am keeping her in a room far away from where the mice are most likely lurking because she is no help and doesn't catch them and just turns into a psycho towards me. She has calmed down, although with complaints about having to be stuck in the room.
So what is the fastest way to catch these mice? I don't even know how many I'm dealing with. Maybe two? There is definitely one in my bathroom and more maybe one in the kitchen.
I got glue mice traps and an enzyme cleaner to clean out the mouse smell...but am not sure what more I can do. I can't just keep my cat in the room all day long, but I don't want to be dealing with her behaviors on top of trying to get these mice and cleaning.
Does anyone have any other good ideas to make my cat calm? I was thinking of making sure to put a lot of her toys everywhere so that her scent is more predominant.
Any other advice on catching or deterring mice and also helping a cat to feel more calm when there are other scents would be really appreciated!
