Spent all night catching a mouse. Not the gross kind. Some people think theyre ALL gross; but I think there are the Disney, Cinderella, kind too. It was that one. So I wake at 2AM...JUST CANT SLEEP! My daughter gets up - and gets me up - 3:30AM, Mom, help me catch the mouse in my room. The cat, Chloe, just took it up on the bed to Platt with and it touched me! YIKES! WHAT A RUDE AWAKENING! First things first. I find it and pick it up; but Im tired and not thinking straight... BTW Anyone can catch a mouse (easily)... 1) Control your heart rate: they have a keen sense of hearing. 2) Dont make eye contact. They will stay where they are if they feel theyve not been spotted. 3) Speak calmly and friendly; about it and to it ( eventually youre going to be capable of approaching it WITH eye contact, but it has to trust you). 4) Get a broom...a soft one, and a dust pan...or a clear plastic box and something flat to slide under it to cage it. 5) Offer it a snack. A VERY SMALL snack (you want it to welcome more) and give it 2 minutes of its life to enjoy it; another words, dont get rambunctious and start chasing it around...youll lose! AND YOULL DRIVE YOURSELF NUTS WHILE THE MOUSE POPS HIS PANTS-OH-WAIT, IT DOESNT WEAR PANTS. DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SCARE THIS THING SHITLESS? I DIDNT THINK SO. WHERE WAS I... 6) Eventually, within minutes, if youve done all of the above correctly...you can show it a box with your wrong hand, if you have one;I use both equally well...and take a rag-covered hand and GENTLY pick it up. If you dont get nervous and squeeze the little fella hell stay in the rag (all cozy and hidden). 7) Stuff the rag into something...a big sock, an old pillow case, whatever... 8) Take the little guy outside and batter him on a rock or tree. (you DONT want wild mice breeding in your house do you? Kill the rodent!) 9) Go back to bed. 10) Next time get a better cat or wake up the man in the house. Ok, back to the story. Steve says he sees it, the cat has it by the tail and is running to where he is standing, hes on one side if the bed, Im on the other with the flashlight. I tell him to take it away from the cat (no gloves on). So he does and gets bit. Does he drop it??? No! Hes a real man! He yelled a little. I think anyone would , lol...poor Steve. ANOTHER LOL...SORRY HONEY. I tell him to stop squeezing it and sure enough, now theyre almost buddies! Starting into each others eyes. 10a) The guy probably didnt destroy it. I bet it got eastern to work and put in a buddys tool box it secretarys desk drawer. LMAO. Life!
