Two nights ago, at around 2AM, I heard my cats goofing around in the kitchen. I figured they were chasing a moth or insect.
Right before I had gone to bed, I notice Lucy and Juni-get-down, sitting near my washing and dryer, in the kitchen, looking as though they were expecting the equipment to "come on" on their own, or something. Little did I know.
Back to the 2M. I finally had enough of the noise and I went into the kitchen, only to find Juni playing with a little dead mouse. She was tossing it in the air over and over again. It didn't look as though she had try to, um, eat it. I flushed the little critter down the toilet and went back to sleep.
About an hour later, more noise, only to find Lucy in the bedroom with another little mouse. That one was also limp and had been tossed around for a few minutes.
I have no idea how they got into my house, but houses are not air tight. Where there are little mice, there must be big mice. Now what? I assume they learned their lesson - and won't be back. RIGHT!!!! ????
My neighbor is having house renovations done, including a new garage built and I think the renovations caused the mice to scatter. They may have come in from the wet basement and through the walls. Who knows.
Now I have to think of a humane way of getting rid of them. Any suggestions? I don't want to break their necks or stick their little feet to sticky paper.... or poison them.
I have not seen any strange cat behavior or any mice since that one evening.
Needless to say, I went to work the following morning, having had far less sleep than usual.

At the time we did not have any cats. I don't think my cats have ever had the experience of playing with a live mouse and I hope they do not get to.
