1 Mouse Caught!

 Sneak: last night I laid out two humane mousetraps, and this morning one had caught a mouse!

It was already dead. :( There were no signs of mess or panic chewing, and it was still on its feet with its eyes open, so best I can figure the poor thing scared itself to death. (Biff says maybe it just had a freak mouse heart attack or something.) I took it to a quiet little corner of park so that it could rest easy and be returned to the ecosystem without fuss. I will keep an eye on its decay process and if no scavengers get it, perhaps I can procure a mouse skull.

Regardless, at least the traps are working!

RIP mouse.

When the old housecats kept bring in friends from the forest, we found out with baiting live traps that they would always go for chocolate.
