I had a mouse in my kitchen and was convinced by my cleaner to mix some rat poison pellets with mashed banana for it. Found it groggy in the morning, in the sink, and so decided to release it outside and let it die in the wild... not even thinking that one of my cats could find it and get poisoned — which is what happened. He disappeared for two days and we found him barely alive. Thankfully he survived. I chucked all the pellets and found out since then that it's getting banned in countries like Canada (because it kills cats as wells as owls, etc.) All of this to say that... I'm glad you don't have pellets about, for Cato's sake!
