theres a mouse loose in the house!!!!!
out of the corner of my eye last night i saw a mouse run under the sofa!!!
after a search by me and hubby it ran off into a gap by pipes and radiator!!under the skirting.
have been out today buying "humane" traps and placing them discretly around the lounge, dining room and kitchen. baited with chocolate. wish me luck in capturing the pesky things as house on the market and dont want potential buyers to spot meeces in the house!!!

We have one who somehow got into our understairs cupboard, nibbles on the dried cat food kept in there and has so far defeated the combined efforts of our four killer cats to catch him for the past month. I've got quite attached to him now! Nicky

i suppose its expected in a house with a cellar!!
my cats are no longer around, however if they were they would probably ignore the mouse and just watch me squeeking at the sight of it!!!
they (cats) used to bring them in now and again but get bored and leave them (mice) to run off into cellar!!!
mice i can cope with its the rats that make my skin creep :scared:
i might call the mouse BRUCE....

Re: theres a mouse loose in the house!!!!!
One of our cats chased a mouse up the trunking covering the radiator pipes in the hall a few months ago where it (alas) expired. I say alas because the the rotting body stank the house out so I had to rip the trunking off taking wallpaper with it. 
I pulled the washing machine out on Monday and behind it was the mummified body of another mouse that probably thought it had escaped.
Who knows how many other dead meeces there are in our house. When the cats are on form we can get 5 a week brought in (that we know of)
