We’ve had an elusive mouse loose in our apartment the last week. We bought a humane t(c)rap, but it didn’t ever stop him. Tigger has been useless too. At 13, he’s a real Strom Thurmond. He just sits around and doesn’t really contribute.
We’ve been waking up at night because the mouse is active. We couldn’t figure out why he sounded like he was above us, but then we found poop on the headboard. That made us really want to get rid of it. I woke up and saw it peering down at me this morning, and after several failed furniture moving sessions, we finally caught it after lunch today. Due to the mouse’s long stint indoors, I assumed it was a wise foe. Ultimately its downfall was hiding inside a plastic bucket, from which it could not jump from. Take That!
Anyway, the mouse has been release into the wild again. How long until it returns? Who knows. More importantly, how the heck did it get in?
