I want to say i am 98% sure we have a mouse. I'm entertained by that, because the only reason i can think that i've a 2% uncertainty is denial. I saw the rump as it slipped away, i cleaned up sign, and Marlowe is fascinated with something behind the fridge. We have at least one mouse. I'm not sude of my resistance to certainty.

Carrie went out. Marlowe wanted to go as well, so i let her out. Carrie looked back at me, with a "Does she havta come out too?" look.

Good morning energy overwhelming the possible cold, so far. I went to sleep early but also woke early. We'll see how long this lasts.

We keep a humane tilt trap just in case although ironically, since moving from a city to a rural area, we've never seen a mouse in the house.

Fwiw, peanut butter is a damn good bait!

I've got one of those traps set up with peanut butter, although it may be too close to where kitten Marlowe is curious. I'm not excited about putting it on the counter, although that's where i saw the critter.

Since we had a black snake in the house that was presumably in pursuit of mice, we really really really want the mouse gone before all the predators take over.

One of the cats will surely get around to hunting it, unless you are intent of capturing it first.
I've had a mouse inside maybe 2 or 3 times since I've lived here, but the pets knew before I did.

Since we had a black snake come in the house last year (year before?) we don't want to wait on the cats.
