well that was exciting
Jul. 18th, 2010 04:18 pmI'm cleaning the baker's rack in the kitchen since a) you can't move a tea without causing an avalanche b) the mice were on it.
After an hour of removing, tossing and sorting, I'm ready to clean shelf and preemptive clorox mouse prints off boxs and cookbooks. I get up to get the sweeper's hose attachment since it's a good dustbuster for those of us who don't own said applicance.
I see a baby mouse hopping by. Well spiffy. The traps are all in the bedroom/bathroom (though I did notice most of the poison in the kitchen utility closet has been eaten). So I go get Kanda off the futon.
Me- See the mouse? get him boy!
Kanda- I was sleeping. Whaddya want?
Me - See the mouse. Be a cat
Kanda - I'm going back to bed
Baby mouse- i'm confused. I'm going to RUN right into the cat's ass in my panic
Kanda - Whoa, watch it! Hey what's that?
Baby Mouse - under the futon will be safe
Kanda - MINE
Baby Mouse -screams in panic. I refuse to feel bad
Me - bring it here Kanda
Kanda comes out drops it on my foot since ALL things belong on my feet. - I GOT IT
Me- um it's getting away Kanda
The poor thing runs into the wall of books and tea boxes. I have on gloves (and a surgical mask) so I grab it by the tail and take it out for release in the woods. The poor thing just dangled stunned. I go in to look at the steel wool in the wall...yeah they pushed it aside. Sigh. And I'm out of gloves so I can't foam today and landlord has YET to be here.
Kanda is now prowling the apt because that was FUN. He's being ridiculously cute about it.
ETA - Well now i KNOW it was baby mice I heard crying. Went into the bedroom and found three other baby mice stuck in that glue trap I stepped in. Freaking spiffy. in my bedroom. I'm out of rubber gloves but that means tomorrow I have to pull apart the closet. Means I better start on the test for next week now
