I told English Nature a while back about how I’d meowed with my cat (after meowing against the cat that had been bullying him) which stopped all the fighting but a whole load of mice got away – he never bothered catching them and had started signalling to me where the mice were but I didn’t realise at first what he was pointing out and couldn’t have got into that space anyway).
Their boffins (proper zoology professors from well respected Unis) thought it was a perfectly reasonable idea to meow with the cats and that I wasn’t the only person to do it! :laugh_at:
When I described the mice (which looked different to others I had seen) they told me that those were yellow necked mice which were rare in England, so I had benefited more than one species 😉
