If my cats don't end up killing a mouse inside my home I catch it in a box and release it outside. I hate to say it, but I find the mice too cute. One time I was at my computer and my cats were chasing a mouse and it crawled up into the back of my shirt! I remember just feeling itchy and when I reached down to scratch and felt my hand grab onto something small and furry, and I pretty much freaked out. The mouse survived both my cats' attack and my grabbing and dropping it on the floor so I thought the little bugger deserved to live after such an ordeal, and I set it free outside. :)

Hey, this is the OP. I have owned rats and mice as pets, but with a wild one you really don't want them running loose around a toddler. As for getting a cat, I have been trying to get a kitten for my son, but our landlord wants a huge deposit. We are buying a humane trap and letting him go somewhere far away. We have temporarily plugged the hole he was using to get in until payday. My husband was jokingly threatening. He is just a big softie sometimes. :) We got a good laugh out of this, before I realized it was a mouse I ran screaming out of the bathroom with my pants around my knees. Glad everyone got a laugh out of this, we did!

Well what your husband doesn't know won't hurt him in regards to jerry. Since he's never met him he won't know when he's gone.

so sweet

We had a mouse in my kitchen and I named him Bartholomew and my dad set up traps because my mom and sister insisted. I found out one of the traps killed him a week after I went back to college.

Hello meet my cat Jerry.

You don't have to kill it. This can be solved easily, just buy those traps that just capture the mouse in a tiny cage

Are you married to Peter Griffin?

Even though everyone said it....you should definitely get a cat named Tom

Unless he is now keeping it as a pet, how would he know if the mouse mysteriously disappeared? Mice like to burrow and hide
