Cats And Coupons

Recently we discovered that a mouse had been making himself/herself right at home in the cabinet over my oven. We found droppings, and lots of chewed paper from packages in the back of the cabinet. My father told me that we’d need to empty the cabinet and set traps. I let him do the emptying, being the chicken I am. He’d take something out of the cabinet, we’d check it and then he’d hand it to me and I’d put it on the table or in the garbage. After a quick glance we noticed the paper had been chewed from around the top of a bottle of olive oil. After looking more closely, we discovered a dead mouse in the bottle. He must have gone in to eat or drink and drowned. I wonder how many more there are. And why the cats didn’t know about this.
