Cat's Cookies


Ok this is just funny. We've had a mouse in our midst for some time now. We've always known someone lived in the walls, and we occasionally found "evidence" of said someone, but never ever saw the little bugger. Until we put our house on the market, that is... then His Fuzziness decided that it was prime time to make an appearance! We've had little sonic emitters to keep him away, but all they really did was chase him to another part of the house.

Today, I caught him.

We have a little brick 'wine cellar' made of loose bricks, and he ran into that. So I started disassembling the cellar and using the bricks to build a wall around him. When I picked up the last brick, of course he was under there and had nowhere to go. From there it was a simple case of dropping a plastic cup over him to scoop him up.

I had to find something to keep him in, and found a half-empty clear plastic cookie container. Perfect. Out went the cookies, in went a few holes on the lid, and one scared mouse.

Only after the dust settled did I notice the name of the cookies on the cookie box.

"Cat's Cookies"

Now that's funny.
