Fast asleep. Awoke to the sound of cat thumping onto floor (i stupidly left lower window open). A moments silence is followed by frenzied scuttling around the room. More silence. Then manic attacking of the bottom of the bed under the silky throw.
I grabbed phone and turned screen on to gloomily light the room(DH is still obliviously snoring)
Cat is frozen, staring under bed in stealth mode.
Decision time..to put my feet on the floor even though i dont know whats there or if its going to get me.(momentarily transported back to every childhood nightmare)
Leap off bed and into hall. Run upstairs n get DS2 to come down & look for evil bed monster. DS2 explains it would be easier to waken DH and turn light on. Decide DS2 is probably more sensible than me right now as he is not freaking out in the slightest.
Turn light on and waken DH..
DH is half asleep but agrees to look..says we dont need DS2 to help...DS2 leaves but DH rolls over n goes back to sleep Hmm.
Cat is still stalking bed monster.
I have lured cat out with ham and put it out
I have had to text DS1 and ask if i can sleep in his bed. He has offered to sleep on couch whenever he decides to come home.
AIBU not waking DH up properly and leaving him at the mercy of the catch of the day? How do i track down alive/dead thing tomorrow? Aarrgghh!!

I got a humane mousetrap once-the dog broke it open and ate the mouse.

A bit late to the thread, but I had to add this as I keep seeing remarks like this Mice home. You'll see this squeaker again:
Yes, mice home. True enough if a mouse has moved in on it's own initiative, but if the cat delivered it its home is somewhere outside- THAT is where it wants to be. I've thrown out several dozens of mice over the last four decades, no further than the back door; not one has ever returned (except a couple of times when the idiot cat BROUGHT IT BACK! Cat's the only reason we ever have indoor mice, the latest is very proud of his work and calls everyone to admire him- cue a three o'clock in the morning mouse hunt, with cat looking on happy to see his family enjoying the game as much as he does (we love him really Grin)

@Paintedorpapered . Yeah. No mouse returned. Im sure there are plenty of other cat free homes to choose from. Glad to see we are not the only ones getting prezzys delivered by furry family members Grin
