My cat caught a mouse in the backyard and brought it inside and straight into my bedroom and my mum just straight up shut my door, which I get as she is deathly afraid of mice. I haven't been back into my room, I don't know if the mouse escaped in my room or is dead, or escaped half dead and is now dead in one of the 500 nooks and crannies of my bedroom full of stuff and I don't really know what to do, I'm exhausted after a day of gardening and I really don't want to go on a mouse search right now but I know I have to. I'm just here to complain and seek comfort.
Edited to add: my cat is only allowed in the backyard when I am around to supervise, we had a previous mouse problem but had dealt with it.
It’s a shame the DT isn’t a neighbourhood. There are many things that stress me but I am able to put a mouse or spider outside
That would genuinely be the absolute best! I wish that was an option. I found the courage and energy to check, I found half of a dead mouse on the carpet (the other half I'll assume is in my cats stomach) and I disposed of it whilst fetching heavily. I will be second guessing ever letting my cat out in the backyard ever again.
