There's a mouse in the house  

Oh well she is true to her name then Barbs..

She wants harmony between the mice and the cats.

She also wants to huggle them.

Oh now this is too cute!

Oops. I guess you will be a little more careful to turn that light on and make sure she isn't bringing in any more friends to play with. LOL Hopefully the mouse will decide that it is not safe to live in your house and will find it's way back outside.

I had the same thing happen to me but my cat took care of business. On Friday night while I was watching my TV shows I heard a lot of noise. Later on that night I went downstairs to the basement and my cat had a mouse cornered under the bookcase. He stayed on that mouse all night and when I went downstairs the next day there was the body and the cat standing over top the mouse.

Yeah my lot catch field mice them bring in live then promptly lose interest they escape eventually but it can take days

You need not worry. As long as there is a cat around, the mouse will look to escape rather than hang around. If it does hang around, Harmony will catch it. Usually a cat will catch its prey then bring it to its caregiver as a gift. Our cat Liberty caught a shrew one day and brought home and dropped it at my feet. Fortunately I was outside. I thanked her and told her next time don't kill it. She ran offf and a short time later, returned with a live one. I told her to get another one, and she did a total of 5 times. Each one was alive and unharmed. Its a true story. She hasn't done anything like that since.

I think u are overdue having the facts of life talk w/harmony. lol.

Hi BarBaraPrz,

Today cats, which living in the house with all their foods are human made, did not hunt for kill (foods) anymore. The only cats which hunt for foods is the stray cat. House cats usually hunt for play only. It would not kill their victim but play with it. This cats do not eat any uncooked foods. The human made the cats lazy and lost all their instinct to hunt for its own foods.

oh don't worry. the mouse will either die from being scared to death or from no food. If the mouse comes out from behind the bookshelf, your cat will find it and play with it again and this time probably until it dies.

I have 6 cats, but I don't let them out because I live in the city. If a mouse, vole, or shrew got into my house and some times they do, my cats hunt them and kill them.

Oh no Bar
I hope you have caught in the meantime or at least found it lol

what a nice trophy she has! fortunately, we dont let our cat out much so we have not had that happeh. once, however, we did have a mouse in the house which my cat promptly ended up playing with enough that it seemed pretty dazed and confused and much slower so my daughter was able to catch it and put it outside.
