That's wonderful.

though I agree that he should be moved while blindfolded...he's found quite a nice squat and his friends will be more than a little interested in where he's been lately...

Hopefully he's found himself a lady in his new woodland habitat. I'd hate to think I'ad abandoned him is some mouse wasteland.

You are the best to be so nice to the little fella. And Cyril is a lovely name.

I never have had a mouse in the house, but when we had one in the office, we used a live trap. I can't believe how many perfectly sane people turn into Disney elephants on chairs when a mouse is around.

Kind of you to say so. Last week we did have a brief visit from an even smaller mouse called Cedric. He was around for a day or two making an incredible racket chomping on onion skins (which seem to be a mouse treat).
He didn't like peanut butter and our traps failed.
I presume that he's gone on to greener pastures now.

We suddenly had wee visitors last week. Our kitty, Betty, came walking toward me with a one in her mouth. I screamed, she dropped it, and it went scurrying off. Hubby went and got humane traps which were bated with peanut butter, but unfortunately, she recaught and did him in before he found the traps. We had two more the next day. The second one, Betty decided had to be brought into the bedroom while I was sleeping! Once again, she dropped it when I screamed, but this time she managed to corral it while hubby caught it under a plastic bowl and then took it off to the nearest wooded area. The third one, hubby caught in the basement with his bowl, but it looked like it might have already have had a run in with Betty. She is one good mouser.... fortunately, she doesn't seem inclined to actually eat them.

We've had three so far.

Got no. 2 away from Than Chai, but he dispatched the first one (we took it away immediately).

Last night Fa Sing caught one—he'd been lying in wait for it all day and half the evening. He was so darned proud of himself that he couldn't sleep and was a kitty zombie this morning. (We took it away very fast, too.)

I just hope word gets out soon to the local mouse community!

Still, I'm glad they're such good mousers. I don't want mice in my pantry or my yarn stash.

Whatever you do DON'T get a glue trap... you will regret it.

We her ein the Piney Deep rarely get mice in our houses ... I wonder why? Maybe because we are warm most of the year? I don't know. But I do know that we have ROACHES*! Constant vigilance is required to fend them off. Although, some cats are good "roachers", the one we have left is not.




* "waterbugs" of "Palmetto Bugs" to some of y'all, Whatever you call them, ours get to be about 3-4 inches long. DIZ-gustin'.

Ugh...I lived in VA (Tidewater) for 7 years. At one point in Old Town Portsmouth, a five minute walk from the Elizabeth River.

The dolphins following the ferry were very nice. The roaches everywhere were NOT. (We were 20 feet below sea level, too.)

...and Mouse No. 4.

We can't get it away from Than Chai, and I wish he'd just kill the poor thing fast.

Fa Sing has the patience, he waits and flushes them out, and then Than Than grabs them. His brother is getting a bit frustrated, especially as Than Chai growls and spits at him as he's followed around.

The mice must die. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in a week, I'm constantly worried that they'll either burn the house down or ruin my clothes, and they plopped all over our pillows the other day.

I gave them plenty of chances to clear out but they ignored me. I hope they're hungry 'cause they've got a bucket load o' poison to get through.

Vengeance is mine.

Ick. I don't think I could sleep either- I'd be constantly worrying they'd be crawling on me in my sleep.
