On the prowl

I think the biggest coincidence in the world for me is how much felineness is really in my life. Now, I am not saying I am a cat, but I was either a cat in my past life or I am preparing to be a cat in my next life or I am just a bakeneko but I don't crave human flesh so that might not be it.... But I mean, how crazy is it, is that I love cats, my astrological sign is a Leo! Meow! My name is Felicia which comes from the male name Felix which derives from the word Feline! And I have a weird tick that causes a meow that pops out of me when I am too stressed. And many other things, so I don't know, I may not be a cat, but I sure as heck probably am close. Anyway! All that being said, I used those catlike abilities to the test this morning. I woke up feeling so rested, more than I have ever been in a while and I'm so happy about that. I got up and went out to get some tea and say good morning to my mamma. We were chatting and kept hearing a noise. Very rude, because it would only happen when I was in the middle of talking! We have a mouse problem, we have been doing all we can to keep the mice out, no we cannot afford an exterminator, no we cannot get a cat, and YES we have tried literally ever home remedy, to the point of putting ammonia on things. So...no suggestions and do not be like "Why can't you encase them and let them out somewhere else" Yeah, we have done that and they always keep coming back, and also why would we want to make it someone else's problem? That is just rude. And it has happened! Most houses around here are infested, I don't like having to kill them, but I also don't want anyone to get sick, so shhhhh. Continuing from that! So we here scattering and just had no idea. I knew it was near our trash area and thinking it had lept into the recycle bin because they have done that before. But we could not see anything. So I just carry on talking to my mamma, just having conversation and then we hear the noise again. This happened several times! Always when I was talking too. My mom was going to reset a coffin trap (The ones where you don't see the thing die). And this trap was already on our counter and she goes to reset it and she looks in and....oh god. The trap never set off but there was a carcass in there. Eww!!! It scared my mom so badly that she ended up throwing the trap and running clear into the other room, it was hilarious. thankfully nothing fell out...that would have been disgusting! But hey, that was one mouse down! Those stupid traps never set because the mice are too light, but apparently, it died in there...So, yeaahh. After that was disposed of, we set another trap near the area where the noise was coming from. My mom was distracted by something that was on the computer and I was just focusing on where this noise was coming from and finally... I just knew it was in the trash bin! We looked in the trash bin before but I guess it just didn't move then, but this time! Oh boy, this time my mom moved something in the trash with a stick and the little suckered moved and we both SCREAMED! So loudly! I quickly tied up the back and my mom tossed it into the bigger trash bin. Two little vermins are gone! Heck yeah! I just could not stop laughing though with how loud we screamed though! I just wondered if the neighbors heard us and thought we were getting murdered. Gosh that was funny though. What an eventful morning. It came with a lot of puns and waves of laughter...The best was thinking that we were just hearing ghost mice and my mom came up with "poltermice" that isn't even a pun you laugh on, that is a pun that you smile at and trying not to smack the person. Now I have some coffee to warm up and starting my day. Geez that was one crazy morning!
