oh jeeze.

So uh, we have a mouse, and I don't mean like a pet, I mean a finding-mice-poo-in-the-cupboards mouse. Which, fine, wash everything, set traps, lay poison, etc. Which we have done and will continue to do, not a big deal. But I have a problem.

Last night I was just laying in bed watching Stargate: Atlantis totally glassily and it came out and started rummaging around my computer desk - not a big deal, again, I haven't got any food over there or anything. In fact, I have removed all food, so goodness knows what it's doing around there, but. I have some cords hanging down, and the light was on so I had quite a good view as it swung itself around on the cords and omg it was so freaking cute.

:-/ I know that my degree of not freaking out about rodents is literally kind of unhealthy. But seriously, it was so so so so so cute I can't deal! Like, climbing around, and one cord was doubled over so it was kind of like a swing, and it went down this one rope, like, clinging. *flails* I think at some point when I'm in a position to have pets I gotta get a mouse. Or hey, maybe a rat, although rats don't have the charming little ears.


In other news, I am watching 80000 episodes of SGA and not really doing anything else right now! Including reading the flist, so if you're doing something amazing, linky???

I don't think drinking wine is something amazing...sorry :)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

[angw.livejournal.com]

Mice are like cute tiny monkeys that shiver when they stand still.

We used to have, like, twenty pet mice.

Then the cat got in.



It was like a horror movie. A recent horror movie that relied on body parts and blood spashes. And the cat was stalking one that it had carried out into the garden.

oh my god. :(((((( you made my heart contract. *sob*

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

Um. I didn't mean you to cry...


I carefully avoided giving actual detail you know...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I think that made it worse... visions of mousey massacre are dancing through my head...

[disturbed-kiwi.livejournal.com]

Argh, I'm trying to help!



Sorry.

There's no reason you couldn't have mice and/or a rat now, really, as long as your dad doesn't mind one in the house. They're reasonably low-maintenance and not messy as long as they stay in their cages most of the time. And, hey, if we can flat with four fishtanks and a tropical parrot then mice should be no problem. :P (Although I am seriously worried about said pets over the next week, since Mike is going to be looking after them all. The fish will survive intermittent feeding fine; Zaz will survive, sort of, but be very angry, which is not good. And loud.)

oh, I don't really think I',m ready for pets. I move around a lot, for one thing. But one day...

[lady-larla.livejournal.com]

Your new mouse friend had better not be around when we come over.. cute as he may be - mice are good in cages and cartoons.. yes I am girly when it comes to mice...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

but he's so cute!

[sennical.livejournal.com]

Oh, do get a rat. I've owned six of them before (not all at the same time) and they're so cute and smart and (relatively) low maintenance. When I'm finally moved out on my own I'm totally going to get one again.

Also, mice! On that topic, I'm going to link you to a video I made from when we discovered a mouse in my friend's basement last Friday. It was awesome. (http://sennical.livejournal.com/248156.html)

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

I'm kinda tempted, but I'm not so much a pet person, so. We went by the petstore today and they were pretty ridiculously cute, though!!

HEE that's hilarious :D

[sennical.livejournal.com]

It's funny how stereotypically girly our reactions were. Scream, dance around and jump on the furniture? Seriously?

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Haha, seriously, I have this flatmate, she's a volunteer firefighter, she runs into burning buildings for the love of it, bikes everywhere, volunteers for about eight thousand things, and is no girly girl. She sees a mouse in the kitchen? SCREAMING TERROR. Funniest thing I have ever seen.

[kitsunerei88]

xD Well, if you get mice, keep in mind you can't have two in the same cage; they're extremely territorial and will possibly try to kill each other. ^^''

Rats are better. Or so says my psych prof, who takes pictures of her lab rats and goes "Look, this is one of my lab rats. Its sleeping. Isn't it cute?"

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Oh, I think I'd go for a rat anyway - smarter and bigger. But yeah, they're so cute :D

[anna-en-route.livejournal.com]

Humane traps!!!

That's how we caught our one mouse...

[labellementeuse.livejournal.com]

Good idea. Where would I get those?
