A MOUSE!

[elsmoka]

RUNNING OVER MY CARPET! A TINY FLUFFY ADORABLE GREY MOUSE!

I heard it trying to gnaw its way through the attic walls and I bought a tech-thingie that is supposed to ward them off by high-frequency sound.

DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE WORKED ALL THAT WELL NOW, DOES IT?

I'm gonna chime in with coffee.. how did you manage to capture it on film?!

[elsmoka]

I was sitting at my laptop and it was climbing up the plant across the room. IT IS A VERY BRAVE MOUSE. And not very scared of me. :)

It's kind of cute in that 2nd picture. Mouse in a plant = cute! ♥

Suggestion on getting rid of it: maybe try one of those traps that don't kill it but get it stuck in a cage?
I don't know. Last time I had a mouse in my room I screamed because it startled me, and the end result was my dad (purposefully) stepping on it and thus killing it. *sadface*

It is cute. I LOVE mice. But please, not on my face when I sleep.

Oh no, that is so sad. Poor mouse.

I bought a cage-trap and filled it with cheese and flour because I read they are supposed to love flour. We'll see what happens.

[iffygeneia]

If the cheese & flour don't work: my mom always uses peanut butter, and sometimes walnuts. I guess they work too?

Good luck, I hope you catch it!

[elsmoka]

OH! Good tip! I will try that next then! :D

[utopian_sky]

So cute! But yeah, not in the bedroom!

[elsmoka]

Really adorable. Only not on my face, in my sleep. :)

I'm sorry, but.... LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! THIS ENTRY TOTALLY MADE MY DAY!!!!

AND AWWWW, IT'S SO CUTE UP THERE IN THIS...PLANT OR WHATEVER THAT IS.

Unhelpful comment is unhelpful.

It is totally adorable. The way it was climbing the plant and sliding down. It tried climbing the tv and slid down, hitting the floor with the cutest thud sound. It is really cute.

I just don't like the thought of it running over my face while I sleep. :)

[so_vieh]

I know what you mean. At least it's not half dead and has its intestines hanging out. :p

[elsmoka]

Yes. Do your mice look like that? Because you have a cat? :)

Aww, adorable mouse is adorable. :D DON'T KILL IT. Like others have said, get one of those traps and set it free outside.

[elsmoka]

NO. I COULD NEVER KILL IT.
Some old guy stood next to me when I bought a live-trap and he was all like "Really?? You want to catch it ALIVE? NOOB! I use poison that kills them and then dries them out so they don'T stink!" And I am like "But don't I have a dead drying mouse under my shelves then?" And he said "Yeah, but they don'T stink!" in a total 'I don't get your question' kind of way. LOL.

It is adorable and I want to catch it alive and make it live in a field at least 5km away from here.
