Albeit we have been told since the Black Plague that mice are cute as buttons by almost every facet of media (especially endearing cartoons that reinforce the Disney empire), I am somewhat concerned to find them in the home. I have closed trash, no food around on ground or accessible, including Pavlov the dog. I hear them in the walls, but haven’t mentioned anything because without evidence there isn’t a point. When I caught this one, I still heard some nibbling away behind the oven. Can I pull the oven out and clean behind there? Whatever the case I couldn’t kill it so I released it into the wild, and I am sure it will try to make it’s way home to it’s famil and poop in the house again.
I do think they are cute, and frankly haven’t the foggiest about health ramifications. I had just seen the wonderful film Coraline and am inclined to think they are pet mice released from a high end, amazing mouse circus. I know whenever you mention kitchen and mouse, people trip out. I also know there really hasn’t been the black plague since the black plague, and they still scamper about so I haven’t any idea how bad they are.
Whatever the case the little guy is far away now and probably looking for his mother. Maybe we should attempt to reunite the remaining ones by letting them move on from my abode as well? I can hear them. Not like crazy person hearing things in the wall… I can totally tell.
Let me know how to handle this stuff. I am not in line for a new pet no matter how much they enjoy my company.
