My house hasn’t had a mouse in it for years but I went down the basement a couple weeks ago and there is my cat Lola just sitting there and along side of her not more than six inches away, a mouse is just sitting there, neither seeming to pay attention to the other. I slipped upstairs, got my longhandled “grabbers” and slowly walked over to the mouse. I was expecting it to scurry off but nope, it just calmly sat there while I picked it up and hurried outside with it. Set it down and it stayed and nibbled on something before slowly meandering off.
Set a live trap that will catch multiple mice but haven’t gotten a single one, so I guess I had a singleton. Good thing because I sure can’t rely on the cat.
