Eeek a mouse! email this discussion to a friend?

Why do I squeal at mice? Whenever I see a wild mouse I give an involuntary scream and I have no idea why.

I'm not scared of mice. I know they can't hurt me and are probably terrified of the big, loud human, but I always scream. I've handled pet mice and don't have a problem with any other kind of rodent. I hardly bat an eyelid if I see a rat.

Does anyone else do this or am I just freaky?

Hi Hvedra,

I squeal at mice also, I think it's because they move so fast it's startles me. My sister had a mouse run up her pant leg. I laughed so hard tears ran down my face. I followed her to the barn one day, she was going to feed the chickens, A mouse was in the chicken feed it jumped from the feed onto her leg. OMG, she danced around trying to shake that mouse off her leg, it still makes me chuckle thinking about it.

I do this for Spiders.. However I am afraid of spiders..
I probably do do it for mice and rats.. more Rats than mice- especially if they are in my basement. I don't think mice bother me too much because they are so little.
But then again my cats kill so many of both of these and bring the dead ones in my house.. I am a little disgusted at finding them but I don't usually scream for the dead ones..
But you really should hear my scream when I see those spiders coming at me.. LOL

I squeal at mice too, and I'm not afraid of them either. But they are dirty and they move really fast and I'm pretty sure that is the reason that I squeal when I see a mouse. Last year when we had our son's birthday party, we discovered that there was a mouse in our house (we had yet to move in). I actually refused to move into the house until my husband had gotten rid of the mouse because I just couldn't imagine it in my cabinets and furniture and worst of all getting into my bed. We got rid of the mouse and thankfully haven't seen one in the house since.

I'm glad it's not just me!

We have had mice in the house before. One of them seemed to like surprising me in the bathroom - I'd be either sat on the toilet or in the bath and it would dart across the room. I swear it was a peeping tom mouse. My husband would hear me squeal and say "I heard the mouse alarm"
