mice are cute.
that being said i used to have a cat that i could not keep inside. he would go out and catch things for my other cat to play with. the first time he did this, he brought in a little brown mouse. i went to pick it up cause i thought that he had killed it and it took off running. scared the shit out of me because i was expecting a dead mouse.
my roommate at the time came out of his bedroom because i shrieked and asked me what was wrong. i told him that the cat had brought in a mouse and before i could stop him he stomped it.
also, when i was little we had mice in our apartment. my mom would set out traps for them during the day. when i would come home from school i would set off the traps so the mice wouldn't be killed. i believe this is how i was able to get my first 2 kittens.
that made me cry.
