There is a field mouse living somewhere in my laundry room. I don't want to kill it with a mouse trap, however. I have a soft spot for animals. I get choked up if I were to run over a chipmunk in my car. A couple of times, I have walked up on it and it takes off like no tomorrow. I won't be able to catch it by throwing a pillow over it or something like that. I used to keep rodents as pets. Had guine pigs, mice, fancy rats. It also reminds me too much of my former little buddies to just clobber it.

The little bugger is annoying the hell out of me, though, and I don't know how to get it out. I might get a box and trap it with some food then take it outside. Those things can be noisy. At first, i thought a bear was going through my kitchen. They try to get into the garbage or knock something over while scurrying around. They can be loud. I would not mind sharing the space if it wasn't so loud and I didn't have to clean up the droppings it leaves in the corrner of the laundry room. I hope it doesn't have babies or something.
