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*.
