I have lots of them around my home. I have seen the same one caught twice in a matter of minutes. My old cat (RB) would catch them, not hurt them and try to bring them in to the house. I of course stopped her at the door. They are so stupid - I think that is why there are so many - they are part of the food chain in my neighborhood. They are cute, yes, I agree but they are just plain ole' dumb when it comes to survival skills.
