So...snowball the made siameseX cat decided to bring us the usual live offerings and as usual i tried to lift it by its tail into a box as provided by nearest child who is sent to get one where we go and release it  .
today though this one turned, jumped, screeched and jumped at me and bit me on the thumb knuckle!! and it really hurt. currently sporting a brown patch where hubby decided I might get an awful disease and made me douse with iodine 10%    8 year old scooped rabid rodent into a sylvanian families box and bunged it into the sheep.
not a happy bunny as had I left it in the house there was a good chance it would have got under a skirting board and died leaving the awful aroma we currently have in the office where a dead critter is stinking and we can't find it aaaaaagh!!

No good deed goes unpunished 

Hope your thumb doesn't drop off 

[manian]

oh no......
i hope the mouse is OK   
iodine can sting just as much
luckily our cat used to eat eveythin it caught
 

[Sandy]

Vicious little mouse...not at all grateful for your help!!! 

[little blue]

sometimes, there's just no helping some things!
Smiled at the image of daughter with sylvanian families box ... you know the girls are country dwellers, she didn't want to put a waistcoat on it and move it into the Gypsy caravan!!

be thankful you've got iodine, in our house it would have been gentain violet livestock spray!

[Bangbang]

Get well soon, to your thumb

Good luck to the mouse

All our vermin are discounted we always get 50% off ! tails and back legs usually. It seems heads are a delicacy.
Our cat (who cannot be named for legal reasons) says ferrel means peril, a mouse in time saves Iodine.

Cheeky little mouse, there's you rescuing it and what's your thanks! Hope the thumb's fine 

[SallyintNorth]

I will take with me to my grave the image of my now ex-hubby laughing but also screaming as a mouse released by his female SiameseX cat made a dart for an appealing dark hole - and ran straight up inside his trouser leg! 

(He might have preferred a bitten thumb!  )

Hope yours heals ok plums 

That particular cat used to always bring live 'presents'    When we had her and her brother it was no problem; Bro caught and ate them all.  When Bro was gone, we found we had a mouse problem in our house because we had a cat!  New baby Jacob made friends with one of these, so much so that we named him Bertie and regarded him as Jacob's pet.  Then, as Jacob grew and developed adult skills - one day, he killed and ate Bertie.  Brutal, eh?

That's so funny....

Your tetanus up to date?

But more seriously, I would have put some anti-bug stuff on it too... They can carry some nasties with them...

It was the next generation in mouse evolution.

Human killers

Sure you'll survive, even if it does mean supporting a brown iodine stain for a while.

funny - never can trust any of these little critters bless

Your braver than me, they might only be tiny but theres no way I could bring myself to pick one up, not even by the tail.  .   Hope the thumb knuckle gets better soon.

[MAK]

Ouch ! Hope it heals up soon and that our messages make you smile 

Our Westie goes for the lizards but they are soon out of her reach when they run up the wall. She had great success one day though and, full of pride, brought her half into the house. The tail ! - it kept wriggling for ages and we watched the other half (Stumpy) grow a new tail throughout the summer. One of Stumpy's relative got revenge on Maddy by  sacrificing itself on the back step. Maddy was sick as a dog (actually really ill )for 3 days !

The tale (excuse the pun) is told in my family of my great-grandmother (a Victorian lady) spotting a mouse in her house and clambering onto the table where she yelled (in a genteel Victorian fashion) for the cat to catch the mouse.  The cat just stood and looked up at her.
"Stupid cat.  YOu're supposed to catch mice.  Don't stand there looking at me." she is reported to have said, just before she felt something scrabbling at the top of her leg.  Yes, the mouse has run up the inside of her long skirt.  NO wonder the cat was watching her.

I had my thumb bitten by a bloody SPIDER that I was rescuing from the bath!! It drew blood and left two puncture wounds in the ball of my thumb
