well- where there is one- there are more.
Last night- after consigning the dead mouse to the garage, the baby mouse to the cage- we heard uproar in the house. R came out and saw a mouse run into our recliner- the cats (both of them) hard on it's heels.
We shut the cats up and searched the chair for the mouse- found him and tried to catch him- no go- after several attempts we flushed him out of the back of the chair- he landed on MY NOSE and bolted-
Next stop- the entertainment cabinet- we blocked the exits and tried to drive him out. But he vanished again! We lifted the whole thing- no mouse.
He was next seen between the couch and a large potted ivy. Once again we thought we had him- but this time he vanished into thin air.
So we put all the furniture back (after tearing up the whole room)- put out two live traps- let the cats out and went to bed- it was after 1am.
The mouse has been dubbed Houdini-little stinker. When a tiny mouse outwits 4 grown people (me, R and the boys) it is time to quit-
Baby mouse is doing well- eating his food and staying warm.
