I have a mouse in my kitchen; I'm feeding it mini shredded wheats until I can get a humane mousetrap.
Tempted to keep it after I catch it tho', I miss my rats.

ex mouse...

When we had a mouse or was it a herd of elephants truddling over the ceilings?, decide to move in. Tessy, my poor cat got put on short rations until it was caught, we found 3 presented on the doorstep intact a few days later.

She was remarkably happy about being presented with a complete tin of cat food that night.

Get a cat.

Or a big hammer.

I'm mildly allergic to cats.

Thanks!

Oh, and fruitloops is funky, if a little confusing; I managed to create myself some nifty baseline drumlines... need a bit more practise before I become the next Jean Michele Jarre however...

Ah right, you meant the mouse trap. For a moment I thought you wanted to take Murphy around people's houses for pest control. :o)

Don't keep it as a pet, it will be scared all the time. And a wild mouse is never going to be the same as a domesticated rat.

True enough; I sorta knew that anyway, just missing rats :)

It'll be let go to brave the terrors of the local cats.

Aren't there any mouse sanctuaries or wild rodent reserves you can take it to?

Let it run free like nature intended! :-)

My sister domesticated a baby mouse that one of her cats caught once. It lived for two years, which is pretty long for a mouse, and seemed to be very happy.

Well it was little when it was caught - an adult mouse would be a whole different matter.

Mum's old cat once brought in a mouse that she kept; it semeed perfectly content to be fed frequently & kept warm & safe.

But mouse urine contains salmonella, or so my aunt was told when her house got infested, so possibly the kitchen isn't the best place to feed it...

Well I have no idea where it's hiding; just near the kitchen.

Hopefully be caught soon.
