We have three freakin’ cats, how the heck do we have a mouse in our house? Their one job is to take care of flies and other pests, in return for love, toys and cuddles, but apparently they’re not pulling their weight around here.
Or else maybe they brought the mouse in themselves. They’ve left dead mice on our front foyer before. And lizards, birds and gophers, as nice little “presents.” I wonder if maybe they only injured a mouse and it escaped?
Either way, I’ll be spending tonight pulling out the fridge and scrubbing our whole kitchen with bleach. Even though in middle school I had pet hamsters and two baby mice (that a friend managed to kill in two separate incidents, within a half hour of each other), wild ones gross me out!
Damn cats. There’s a reason why I’m more of a dog person than a cat person. At least dogs will clean up spilled food on the floor and bring you your slippers. They know how to make themselves useful!

Haha, I totally agree. I absolutely hate mice, and catching them would be about the only thing a cat would be good for. (I guess it probably doesn't help that I'm terribly allergic to cats.) Definitely a dog person!
Oh no! I had a mouse in my apartment at UC Davis. I wanted to set a trap, but they're illegal there, and if I had set one that harmed the mouse, the building manager would not carry it out for me. We were allowed to use those sticky pads that trap the mouse but don't hurt it. One day my roommate found a little, furry gray mouse stuck to the pad. I still screamed when I saw it, even though it was cute.
I heard some rustling in our room once, while we were trying to get to sleep. I shined my cell phone light and it was a huge cockaroach in a plastic bag! Sometimes those things get big, and since it's summer time they're out. Have you thought about putting out some traps? Anyway, I'd look for droppings - you'd be able to tell what's around! Hope you find (or I guess don't find) whatever it is!
