This gave me a chuckle! Our house, granted is a large one -- 18 rooms
total, of which 14 are regular "living" rooms. There is an unfinished
walk-up attic which houses the library annex, a reading area and a pipe
organ. About a month ago I was inside the organ checking the compass
springs on the partially-finished tracker windchest and discovered to my
unpleasant surprise *mouse droppings* inside!
Of course, the garret is off-limits to felines, but there is no rodent
food source up there, which means they would have to descend to the
hunter's lair to forage; three of our six cats are skilled hunters! We
had *a* mouse last fall, which Alexei (our Russian blue) was able to
dispatch with greatest efficiency.
What mouse in its right mind would take up residence in a house with six
cats, one of whom in particular is a most ruthless mouser!?

Postnote -- DH reported that one of the mice was larger than the rest of them,
so I have hopes that they caught the adult mouse and got rid of the whole
bunch. This is the first time in 35 years that we have had any mice. None of
our other cats ever had a chance to catch a mouse.
