1 Mouse Caught!
Nov. 12th, 2023 06:41 pm 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.
