What sort of mouse? And why were you picking it up?
Just asking...
A house mouse, Mus musculus, of course.
The cats had it, and while Mrs and Miss R were vocal in expressing the view that it should be rescued, they failed to take any real steps towards this aim.
Good, good. For a moment there I thought it might have been a computer mouse ... which would be kind of ... embarrassing, really.
So did you rescue it or feed it to the cats?
(Sorry Dan, sorry Sweder, but this is fascinating).
Yes, I did. The cats are well-fed enough; one of them, Percy, is the sort of cat who's been poured into his fur and forgotten to say when, to paraphrase P G Wodehouse
