The mouse has been caught.
Quick multichoice. Who caught the mouse?
a) My humane mouse trap valued at $25.95
b) Penne (the cat who bought it in)
c) Twinkle (the vegetarian)
d) Catherine (with her bare hands!!)
The answer will astound you!!
It was Twinkle. Yep, at 10.34 last night, Twinkle ran out of my bedroom into the lounge, with the mouse in his mouth. Penne and I almost fell off the couch. Talk about stepping up! Previously Twinkle has only bought me leaves, but he saw his Mum in distress and put aside his principles to help me out. Hooray for Twinkle.
Now the mouse was still alive when Twinkle put it at my feet, in fact it was unharmed (Twinkle agreed to catch the mouse, but did not actually want to hurt it).
So I picked it up and release it. Now I know that some cynics amongst you will say I should have killed it but I had a talk to the mouse and I think we have reached an accord.
On foot note to this report. The mouse looked significantly smaller than the one I saw on Monday night. I am choosing to believe that it shrunk rather than entertain the idea that there is more than one mouse. Please do not correct me on this.
