How do you set a mousetrap when you own a cat?

Anonymous
I woke up to find mouse droppings on my burners. I went to bed with them clean. Unfortunately this has happened before and we have successfully caught mice with traps. We adopted a cat this winter who sleeps upstairs and apparently is oblivious to this mouse. How do I set traps with our cat who would smell the food and be attracted to it?

Set up the traps where the cat can’t reach. Under the stove. Under the sink. Behind the dishwasher. Or put the traps in a box.

Not all cats are mousers, unfortunately.

Put your cat in the kitchen at night and see what happens

Close your cat in your bedroom tonight and put those mousetraps out with lots of bait.
