I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I love Homer, really do, but my guess is he would be more likely to snuggle the mouse than kill it.
DJ, no need to mail Tron, we ahemed a copy.
Amy, replied.
WE ARE HOME!!!! The cats are acting like puppies and being underfoot. I am happy I cleaned the house before we left, but unhappy I left a sink full of dishes, yuck. Car is 90% unpacked and I am having snack food for dinner.
Tomorrow, I put away the outside decorations. I am leaving the tree up until the 13th.
No NYE plans, but I may see if a couple of friends and their kids want to come over.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, hopefully all the mice are on their mousie chatboards, going, "Stay away from that place."
Hey, I filled up two of those humane catch-and-release traps with mice and more kept coming. Then once the extra-crafty one figured his way out of those and ended up a little mouse corpse in the sprung trap on my floor for a whole day, they coincidentally decided it wasn't such a trendy new neighborhood after all.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I was in mouse denial once, until ONE CLIMBED ON ME WHEN I WAS SLEEPING. This was between cats, however.

Because books.

I could send Cortez (aka The Killer) up for a few days. But then you'd ... have to watch him eat them, most likely.

Devi'd play with it to death. And then bring to you to re-animate.

Yeah, that was what prompted me to go from humane to lethal methods too, Sophia.
If only leaving one of their corpses out on display would serve as a similar deterrent to noisy drunken fratboys...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Victor traps. Bait with peanut butter. Put them between the wall and the appliances. Mice tend to run along walls and objects...somewhere they can keep close to. So that's the optimal place to put traps.
Mice harbor things. Fleas, ticks, etc. And they're crapping somewhere in your house so that's another reason you don't want them. Rodents are famous for the ease with which they reproduce. So while you think you're only seeing one, it's almost guaranteed there are more.
I've used a broom to sweep a Victor trap directly into a dustpan to throw it away. I've also put gloves on and dealt with it that way. But as gross as it is dealing with dead mice in traps, it's worse living with live ones.
