I noticed something small and grey on the floor in my kitchen this morning. Upon closer inspection it turned out to be a mouse. It was so cute

We gots the mouses. They woke us up last night rooting around. However ours are mighty mice who have dodged traps, avoided the poisoned bait, and vanish at a great speed the minute that you turn on the light.

Does anyone have a cat that we can borrow?

I'm sure last time I was at the garden centre I saw some kind of anti-mouse product based on lions. It was "essence of lion", or lion dung, or something. The reasoning seemed to be that if mice are scared of cats, they're surely PETRIFIED of lions.

So, yeah, just get some lion dung and smear it around the place a bit or something I guess.

I used to live in a flat with mice and I too found them cute and basicly harmless and just let them stay. However they did tend to breed rather and shit everywhere and piss my landlord off to the extent that he kicked me out and killed all my little grey friends with some horrable acid burn from the inside out take 8 days to die in agony poison. I still wouldn't have killed them though, ack, I'm such a gaylord. Just let it go in the park I'd have thought.

p.s It does seem rather strange that it allowed you to creep up on it, I would be inclined to be suspicious about that.

Maybe it was lethargic because it is starving to death because I am a bad mouse host and don't leave enough food out.

Possibly when I return it will have consumed the cheese and become sprightly, and bolt as soon as I try to manoeuvre it into some sort of container for removal.

Poison I suspect

I think your little mouse friend was already in an advance state of poisoning when you found it. There was nothing you could have done.

Our mouse must go. I don't like the poo or it waking us up at night.

I am definitely not keen on discovering droppings, I must admit. I have an anti-mouse-poo stance. I haven't encountered any, though, is the thing.
