Noes! I are not fudz!

Meet 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.

It's a wild mouse. Let it go and if the cat gets it again, let the cat have it. Remember, if the cat scores that's one less mouse chewing up the insides of your flat and weeing on your carpets

Vermin has been let go on the green, which I hope is far enough away to stop it coming straight back. The cat is sleeping. Ssh!

The hunt is on! The mouse was just hauled back in...

likely either a very stupid mouse, admittedly their brains are small, or a different one from the same ... brood? liter?

starvation vs death tough call for that small mouse head.
