Mouse Hunt

I mentioned in a post yesterday that the cats were on a mouse hunt. They were going all kinds of crazy from room to room. Stalking for a while, chasing for a while, pouncing for a while. It was distracting and entertaining. I told Robin the Cat that if she caught the mouse I would give her treats.

Last night before bed I found that their endeavors were successful. There was a very small little mouse on our bedroom floor, dead as a door nail, and two cats up high on the furniture guarding over it. I scooped up the fallen rodent soldier and took it outside. Then I went to the top of the refrigerator and took down the bag of cat treats and gave our mouse hunters their reward. Good work, cats. Thank you for protecting our home. Guard cats.

If I had caught the mouse I would have taken it outside alive, but I knew there was slim chance of that. I was busy working and getting ready for today’s medical thing and I knew the cats were going to get it. This is the first time they have killed a mouse (that I know of) but it was just a matter of time. We live in the woods. Critters are a thing.

Thank you, mousers. Congratulations on a job well done. Also, thank you for leaving it where I could find it and for not offering it up like a present in the middle of the night or anything. Most appreciated. Maybe I’ll give you more treats today.

Mouse Hunt

We are proud of our two cats. They have protected their house from an invader. A little, tiny, furry, squeaky invader.

They caught a mouse.

We saw them hunting when we got up this morning. There was something in a closet that they really wanted to get at. I saw it for a second. A little brown mouse. It was adorable. It was also a bastard of a home invader who needed to be removed. The mouse got away this morning. It did not get away for long.

Jen walked into a room and found it laying in the middle of the floor, seemingly dead. She turned away to get something to cover the body and when she turned back it was gone. A few minutes later she found it seemingly dead on the floor not far away. Was it actually dead this time or was it just playing dead? I scooped it up and took it outside. Pretty sure it was dead. Poor little sucker.

Good job, cats! Lily and Robin protected their home and their family. They are good mouse hunters. We gave them some treats in thanks. Good job, my little furry friends. We’re proud of you.

What I have learned from buying new #mouse traps is: there is no such thing as "a mouse". #Mousehunt

Jen sent me this mouse hunting video a few hours ago. The mouse got away. It is still in the house somewhere but it is currently avoiding the kaiju-esque cats.

Now… do videos from Flickr work on WordPress.com? Let’s find out. (note: the embedded video player from Flickr for some reason includes about 10 miles of white space in the actual post. Scroll down… WAY down to see the clip)

Three movies discussed in our special this week. And each one a feelgood treat, no matter what Dave thinks.

The joys of having an old house:

Crevices that rodents can wiggle in through.

Said #mouse was spotted and then went under the trash can. Moved the can and it ran across my foot, which startled me.

I made the least masculine noise I’ve ever made, and proceeded to laugh hysterically at myself afterward.

Mouse motel traps (no-kill traps) are set up. Hoping to return this little friend to their OUTDOOR home.

To my great surprise my humanitarian mouse traps worked. Will be releasing this wee sleekit timrous beastie later, far away.

I just watched Mouse Hunt (Gore Verbinski, 1997) and rated it 4/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mouse_Hunt?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #Mousehunt #GoreVerbinski #Slapstick

I've tried cleaning, exclusionary measures, repellents, snap traps (it licked peanut butter right off, and won't touch raisins I think it's experienced them before), and I'm reluctant to try poisons. At what point do I conclude that I have a pet mouse?

Quiet afternoon. mom's napping, hubby's on a taxi marathon, I'm alternating between games I play, Duolingo, & here while sipping a mocha coffee & munching on my banana cake.

Peace is nice.

This piece has been a long time in the making, but finally, I can release my mini-thesis on 1997's #Mousehunt. A true masterpiece in slapstick #cinema.
