Got him!

Remember that mouse that I posted about several weeks ago? Well he got me again yesterday. I was walking into the kitchen and he ran across the counter. ICK! A mouse on the floor is one thing but on the counter...absolutely disgusting! So I waged war again and rebaited the traps, determined to get the little sucker.

Well sometime during the night, I got him. But the story doesn't end there. Apparently, the cat isn't up for mousing much anymore since she is fed in a nice warm house now. But...catch a mouse in a trap for her and she'll take it. So she ran off with the mouse, trap & all. She had her snack and apparently abandoned the trap when she was done. Wait, I failed to mention that since the head gets stuck in the trap - she couldn't get that out. So...leave it to Tank to run across the trap and bring it to the kitchen. He just set it on the table and left it. So I come into the kitchen, not even knowing that I caught the mouse in the first place, and see a trap with a mouse head stuck in it - laying on the kitchen table. BLAH!! I think that might be worse than the darn thing running across my counter! I of course went into disinfecting mode and scrubbed both boys hands and got the Clorox spray out to clean the table. But not knowing where it had been in the meantime really freaks me out. Did I ever mention that I'm a tad bit of a germaphobe? Ick!
