Topic: A mouse in my house

[GrandMa Kay]

I am so upset with a mouse, that I'm sure our cat Alf, brought into the house.Ken and I saw the cat with the mouse and when Jake and Minnie saw the cat with it, they wanted to play too....They took turns mauling the mouse. That was one tough little mouse....Ran under the sectional and the three muskateers gave up on it. It ended up in one of my cupboards, where all my large bowls are. I set four mouse traps,with cheese, and it got the cheese, but didn't spring the traps.Next I tried two sticky mouse traps, as I really didn't want to hurt it.Kind of heard it one night flapping that sticky trap around, so I figured when I got up I could throw out the mouse. Well, no mouse next morning. Finally, I bought some Decon rat poison as I knew that he would enjoy eating it. Well, he pooped all over the top of my Microwave and one cupboard, so I know he got to the poison.Decon dehydrates them. It thins their blood.I no longer am seeing little presents from the mouse, but I had to take everything out of the cupboards and wash it.Heck of a way to spend a day off.
I have decided that mice are very smart and that not getting caught in a trap is genetically imprinted in them. They are much smarter than humans.The same probably goes for the sticky mouse traps. They already know about this stuff.
It's a heck of a way to get my cupboard cleaned out.
