Mouse Sighting!

One of our good-for-nothing cats came upstairs yesterday with a mouse in her mouth. It was still alive. Ruby was looking for a good place to play with it. I expect this is the mouse that has eluded capture in our basement for several months. Lenore loves animals. The only trap she would sanction in the basement was a "humane" one. I would have opted for one of the insidious glue traps. Unfortunately, once Lenore realized that Ruby hadn't dealt the death blow, she wasn't going to let her get another chance. Now the offending mouse was last seen in Jensen's room. I told her she missed out on her one good opportunity to get rid of the mouse. The only good thing that came of this episode was the disaster that is Jensen's room got a thorough cleaning while Lenore was searching for the evil thing.
