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.

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.
