One is dead, one is MIA we have two cats and they played with one of them I finished it off.

We had some rats in the loft a while ago so wasn't sure if these were baby rats or mouses, I was thinking and hoping it was a mouse, wife is now breathing a sigh of relief.... ta

Mouse, currently fighting a war against the little ****ers. Digging up drains outside the house on Saturday as consensus in the road is that the drain was not sealed properly going into the house as everyone else has had to do this.

Kill kill kill.

Heh...we only have meeses because of the cat, who brings them in on a regular basis and sets them free for me to round up.

Never had a mouse before we got a cat...

It's a House Mouse...which can be shortened to "House" or "Mouse"

Simple way to identify rodents.

If it's in the living room, it's a mouse.
If it's in the kitchen, it's a rat.

I get stressed when my cat brings in mice or voles or shrews, feel sorry for the little buggers - rats can GTF though, the more of them she eats the better!

Mouses have bigger ears than baby rats. And their ears are more on the top of their heads.

I've seen rats that would knack that cat. Buggers the size of small dogs. Cross between [i]Rattus Rattus[/i] and [i]Rattus Norvegicus[/i]. Not to be ****ed with. At all. Children's faces have been bitten.

once at a student party, after a while most of us were trying to sleep on the floor. woken by crunching noises, the cats had brought in two rats and were part way through devouring them, so bits of rat all over. Had to "comfort" a girl by distracting her!

Big ears, narrow/pointed face & big eyes.

Cross between Rattus Rattus and Rattus Norvegicus

the black (well greyish to look at) rat is a rare little beasty in the uk, you must live near some docks, liverpool or london are the main areas they still hang around in

We had a mouse epidemic one year, turned out that the water pipe (1 inch stuff) was fed through a common underground drainage pipe to all houses on the row, I guess to make it easier to lay foundations. Basically picture a larger diameter pipe with off shoots going up underneath the cabinets on each house. Basically the builder had made a mouse motorway.
A bit of expanding sealant later and all was good.

Sadly I laughed.
