Noes! I are not fudz!

Halfpint iz fudMeet Halfpint the mouse.  Halfpint was brought in by the cat last night and fled under the freezer.  With nothing to do today but stir-crazy house cleaning, the little fellow was discovered before Bel got her claws into him.  Or her.  How do you sex a mouse?

Halfpint's proper name is Apodemus, which is a suitably grand name for such a small critter.  I'm pretty sure it's an adolescent field mouse: the long tail and huge back feet give it away.

Now, here's a dilemma.  What to do with Halfpint?  Vote now!
  • Make it a little mouse house away from the cat, he's so cute. 
  • Feed it to the cat.
  • Crush its vermin head under my boot-heel.
  • Let it go somewhere a way away.
  • Hideous experimentation, possibly involving recipes.
