Of Mice... & Best Laid Plans

I had him... I had him right there, stuck in the 'humane' mousetrap...

And the slippery little bugger got away.

I don't want to talk about it...

Okay, well maybe a little.

The trap in the kitchen looked like it had been sprung, but felt too light when I picked it up. As I turned it over to check, our unwanted guest stuck his nose out of the now unsecured trapdoor & scarpered, apparently none the worse for wear after his stay in the peanut-butter baited trap.

So at least we know the 'humane' part of the description is accurate. Now, about that 'trapping' business...

I only hope this hasn't proved to be a memorable lesson for our errant rodent, meaning he won't go near the traps again
