Why is anyone afraid of a mouse?  I don't get that.  

 

In any case, we had a cat once that went out into a field near where we lived, caught a mouse, brought it in the house and turned it loose, then when the mouse would run across the floor would just look at it.

 

I was SO mad at that cat!  We finally caught the mouse, but the cat had NO interest in it.  


I am not afraid of mice but they carry diseases I do not want in my house.  I can relate to your cat story.  Had a cat years back that even fed the mouse living under my washing machine.  He would carry his kibble over to the machine which peaked my interest and then I saw all the mouse droppings in that area.  Needless to say Tommy, the cat lost his playmate the same day.  The mouse was so fat that it barely fit into the trap.

That's why I like snakes.  We live in the country and had a huge mouse problem.  Then I noticed snakes, copperheads to be exact, in the yard.  Whithing a few days no more mice and the snakes vanished too.  So now I don't mind seeing snakes in my yard because I know they take care of a bigger problem.  Once the food source is gone the snakes seem to move on too.
