Tonight while we were watching the TV our two cats and the dog both started scratching and pawing the area around our unit which houses the Hi fi and the TV. At first we thought perhaps some of the cat's Christmas treats might have fallen down in between the spaces or we had a big spider down there (not unusual), but they just wouldn't let up.
Eventually I got the torch and got the surprise of my life (I am afraid I even screamed, how girly is that), as there to the side of the hi fi was a little mouse. He/she was so cute. My husband made a little cardboard trap, he even put a cellophane window in so we could see him when he was caught. About 20 minutes ago the little mouse made his move and scurried towards the sitting room curtains followed closely by Rachel the cat and James the cat. My husband got out his little box and bingo the mouse was trapped. I think he must have come in from the garden while we had the door open for the dog. Husband took him up the street to a spare bit of land and let him go. Can't help feeling sorry for him (the mouse) as it is a raw night with hail and a biting cold wind. Not as nice as being beside our nice warm telly. However cute he was, hope he hasn't left any of his relatives behind. The cat and the dog are now doing a recce round our sitting room. :D busy_lizzie
