Save yourself, Stev(i)e!

[earthbelow]

Stev(i)e McDangermouse has not taken the bait and fallen for the humane traps. We saw Stev(i)e last night running into one of the closets and we tried to trap it so we could very nicely transport Stev(i)e outside where s/he could be free and alive - but it was to no avail. Stev(i)e is impressively fast and wily.

S/he's outsmarted all the humane traps made of bottles and didn't take the bait on the one trap that was guaranteed to work. Technically, Andrew wanted to set the deadly traps tonight, but I pleaded with him to give Stev(i)e one more chance. Stev(i)e didn't take the deal.

Thus, Andrew has set the very *not* humane traps. Stev(i)e's days are limited.

Still. Stev(i)e is a clever little rodent. I give hir a fighting chance of living long enough to find ANOTHER apartment to live in. There's two other apartments with dogs in them. Which means an abundant source of food that's already on the floor and brand new canine friends for Stev(i)e.

Okay, so I'm told that dogs will actually eat mice, same as cats. But still. If a dog ate a mouse, that'd be okay. Because anything vs. dogs and I cheer for the dogs. Also? One critter killing another falls under my Circle of Life exception to feeling sad.

But I guess if you're a mouse, this apartment is the equivalent of rent-controlled. Try getting someone to move out of *that*.

You guys weren't serious about feeding Steve to Nippy, were you? What if Steve ate poison from another apartment and then Nipster got sick?

Nah, we weren't serious about that part. Plus, we're not sure Nippy would know what to do with a live mouse. Nippy would probably run away. Which would make my day, but you're right. We can't be sure what kind of diseases/poisons the mouse has in its system.

I say we should just leave the freezer open so Stev(i)e can see all the frozen dead mice we have in there and s/he can be like, "Holy shit, these people are psycho killers!"

Ok, love that! Stealing that! ...or trying to. Circle of life still makes me sad sometimes anyway. Therefore I tend to avoid animal kingdom type shows.

!!!!!!! Go Stev(i)e go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!! Live Stev(i)e Live!!!!!!!!!!!

Part of me is hoping that he will find another apartment he likes better now that we've done a massive cleaning and removed some of his food sources.
