this is one of them aesop's fables, right?

There's a mouse in my computer room right now. I wish a frog would come and carry it away before one of the cats kills it. It's hiding somewhere but I saw it earlier, a little field mouse.

I've shut the cats out of this room, and put a 'trip-trap' down baited with a strawberry smeared with peanut butter. Hopefully the mouse'll take the bait and I can let it go into the forest tomorrow.

That's just crazy. How the hell did the photographer ever spot this? I love it.

Also: good for you, essexjan, for trying to spare it. :)

Ooh! Peanut butter strawberry! *moves towards trap*

The mouse has spotted the trap and sniffed round it. It can smell the food but hasn't quite worked out how to get inside. I'm pretty sure it'll be in the trap by morning, it wants the food.

It's a tiiiny little mouse :-)

Wow, if I ever get trapped, I want the trapper to be essexjan. mmmmm strawberries...

Mice on a motherfuckin' frog.
