Default Mouse attack drama!

I just went into the shed to my big bag of bird seed and as i put in my wee jug to fill it a mouse jamp out and on my arm and shot off along the shelf - gave me a start but it got one too



I kind of knew that some spilled seed would attract mice but they have to eat too. My girls are horrified - what with this and the massive spider i got from the living room floor last night.

Do you like a wee mouse?

Mice are cute.
Hubby hates rodents of any sort.
I had a pet rat when I was a teen, lovely little ratty, she killed all five of her babies though.

They are cute...but they are too quick and small like spiders

I always remember the woman in the Tom and Jerry cartoons...she used to jump up on a chair when Jerry was running around....I literally did the same thing when a mouse ran towards me behind the Hotel Reception Desk I was working behind......
Then we had one in our Hotel room in New Orleans...we had to move rooms.

Squirrels are the only rodents I can tolerate. Rats and mice are vermin.

Yeah we had a grey squirrel problem a couple of years back - they can cause a LOT of damage quite quickly.

I thought we had rats though (because I knew whatever it was sounded too big to be mice) so was quite relieved that it was squirrels. Although apparently they’re just as dirty as rats. But rats got that bad rep, y’know...

How do you know it was woman?

All you seen was legs and a hoisted skirt with a loud shrieking voice.

Could have been marsh, glenn, smithy or morgan for all you know.
