The hunt is over!
We were just watching an episode of Six Feet Under on DVD when I heard a loud banging sound from the kitchen. Rosa, who had been sleeping on the couch next to us, ran off to investigate; I followed. Clem, of course, was jumping into the depths of the cabinet under the kitchen sink: the mouse was back.
As the episode came to an end, the jumping turned into scurrying and squeaking and, to make a long story short: my cats utterly suck at mouse catching, but I am the best. Clem and Rosa chased the mouse all over the kitchen, under the dishwasher, and out into the TV room, causing me to freak out (I've got a lot of shoes scattered around here; I don't need this!). The mouse was cornered for a while behind the TV until the cats finally managed to chase him back out into the kitchen. He made one more escape under the dishwasher, which rolls, so we moved it one more time and I quickly trapped him under a shoe box. The kitties were very excited and kind of jealous, and threatened to ruin the whole plan by knocking the box over, so we tossed them in the bedroom and slowly, slowly began sliding the box across the floor and toward the kitchen door.
The mouse is gone. I really hope he was the only one, but I somehow doubt it. The cats are now lurking around the kitchen, looking in all the places where he had been hiding in this last chase. Rosa is still fairly convinced he might be behind the trashcan, but she doesn't really want to find out.
