We have 2 hedgehog houses in our garden. Leave food out all year as they wake up during hibernation a few times and need something to eat. We've had them coming for years, and both houses are currently occupied.

We feed them kitten biscuits and poultry in jelly cat food. And obviously water. The food is in an upturned plastic container with a hole big enough for hedgies but not cats. Amazing how thin they can be when they stretch out.

My cat Freya is a great killer, it must be the name! She's brought home dead and almost dead baby rats, full grown (headless) rats plus magpies 3 times (all live) hawk-moth caterpillars (live), a wood pigeon, whole eggs, and she catches and chomps spiders too. All the live stuff I've managed to rescue and release apart from the rats which I finished off with a brick!

My neighbours cat used to bring me presents - old cigarette packets, banana skins, a snooker pocket, a cycling glove and lots of McDonald’s happy meal toys

A friend even asked me to bring Olly Puss over to her house as she had a mouse or rat upstairs. I let him up there and left him to it. We sat in the living chatting, then he cried at the living room door and there was a dead mouse at the bottom of the stairs. My friend was totally shocked. He loved my dog Amber and used to follow us when out for a walk. When she died, he refused to come into the house for over a week. He was mourning.

We once had a rat when living on the fourth floor of an apartment. Apparently it got up through the water pipes. It took us a while to find out it was a rat that was eating through bananas, paracetemol bottle, suncream, leather armchair -took a video set up in the end to catch it at night!

Nasty creatures are rats. I don't understand why some people have rats as pets. Maybe pet rats are a certain breed.

You could rent out Olly Puss on hourly basis. He or she could make some pocket money for cat treats. (I'm sorry if I'm assuming wrongly that Olly Puss is still with you.)

They are gorgeous. I have the hedgehog charity for my Easyfundraising donations.

No, Olly Puss passed back in the 90s, he had diabetes in the end. I had to give him injections.

I'll try the plastic container because I know a neighbourhood cat would devour the food. Surprising to know they can stretch out.

Sorry. He was a cat in a million.
