Mouse needs to go?

Is it possible to have worn out a usb connect mouse? I've been having problems with highlighting, dragging items, etc.

Phew- I was SO afraid this was one of those boring, repetitious "bathroom habits of rodents" posts!

LOL, no......I really need to know if I need to replace this "mind of it's own" mouse.

If you have a cat look inside for cat hair. Try a different port on the computer. They are inexpensive to replace, mice.
