I have bought a box mousetrap to try and catch the mouse alive so I can
release it into greenery as I normally do. I bought some ripe cheddar cheese
this morning which I am using as bait. Now we will have to see if this
newfangled technology works. Yesterday morning the cat actually caught the
mouse and spent an hour playing with it before it escaped. The reason for
not buying a traditional mousetrap is that I wouldnt be able to afford the
bills for plastic surgery to repair the cat's nose, cats being cats.

I am advised to get a box moustrap, not the oldfashioned type which could
damage the cat. The alternative is to lock the cat out of the house while
the oldfashioned trap does its job, but that cant really be done as it
might
take a day or two. So I will give the cat the weekend to earn its keep
then
see about getting a boxtrap next week.

I should also say that I am worried about the cat sticking its nose into
the
mousetrap, he not having seen one before.

Two nights ago the cat brought in this mouse. How he caught it I have
no
idea. A pure fluke I suppose. But he cant catch it and I cant catch it
cos
it moves like a streak of lightning when chased. Now I aw worried
about
it
starting chewing things, like computer cables. My sister-in-law says
the
only solution is an old-fashioned mousetrap. But I would much rather
do
what
I usually do with mice which is grab them by the tail and chuck them
out
the
front door into greenery. The cat is not doing its job though and I
continually complain to it to earn its food. But this mouse is like
greased
lightning and I think I will have to visit the local hardware shop.
