We will try to catch some mice - will this result in a Pool of Tears?

I saw a little furry brown fellow scurry behind a big piece of mahogany furniture in the Library. He turned around and looked at me. He was really very cute but he turned and high tailed it to the opposite wall and the security behind the heating pipes just under the bookcases. He was gone in a flash actually. But he is instilled in my mind.

I posted my Mouse and his arrival on my Face book page. People made comments trying to be helpful:

"Well fed kitty's tend to lackadaisical hunters. Either sharply reduce the kitty kibble or buy a couple of traps. The old fashioned snap kind work best. Just a tiny dab of peanut butter in the bait hole works wonders. "

"Want me to send Kobe? He's got two kills & scared a rat right out of the house! Danny want everyone to just be friends. But Kobe's got killa' instincts!" (*These are her Labs - my previous Blog as to their lineage)

I used to have a big fat cat that would sit on the sofa and watch me chase the mouse around......I'd offer to rent out Sophie to you but now that her thyroid problem is under control and she isn't hungry all the time, not sure she would still be a willing mouser..... :)

Yes, we had tried Quincy the big fat resident cat and she just has paid no attention to the concept of mousies at all, so Clark bought traps.

This morning we baited the those standard issue mouse traps from the store with peanut butter and are waiting.

But like Alice in Wonderland, after catching them will we reside in a pool of tears?
