Yes, it was still alive when we found it. Those darn things are so cute. (Something must be wrong with me!) The trap only caught him by one leg, but he was trying to hide in the treadmill, as you can see, and got caught (thank goodness). Brent took him outside and 'finished the deed'. We had been seeing him run around in the evenings the last couple of nights but he wasn't getting caught in the trap we set under the sink, so thats why Brent put out a new one this morning. I don't know what to do about these things! Its so gross!

So we got a kitten last night and here's the thing; he's eleven weeks old, super mild, hasn't affected anyones allergies, he's litter box trained, neutered, and he was raised as a "mouser" which means he catches mice! You just can't beat that. He was also raised as an outside cat. We're trying him out inside but if we ever wanted to kick him out he'd be fine.
I have a friend who had a bad mice problem (in her house) and she got a "wild" cat. She never sees him, he stays outside, but knows he's there because she has to refill the food dish in the garage every day but she says she hasn't seen a mouse since she got him. Something to consider.
Brent's kids are allergic to cats. But I might consider the 'outside' one. (Where do they go in the snow?)
If you make a spot for them in the garage they'll sleep on hay covered with a towel or some people put a heating pad down underneath a bed. I guess they manage just fine in the winter.
We think we have a dead mouse in our furnace. We have no idea how to get it out. The furnace room really stinks and when the heater goes on the smell comes out (though it is faint).
That totally stinks Breanne. Ha ha. Darn dead mice. That's why we threw ours back outside. You might need a certified guy to come out and look at it and see if he can clean it out.
