Sorry, Em
It was the quip-impulse.
Seriously. If you can not cure the mouse, help the mouse escape its pain.
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

Oh crap. It's not there now. So either it got away (seems unlikely) or she moved it when I wasn't looking. There is a dead or dying mouse somewhere in my apartment, and I may not know where until I step on it. AAAAH!
I know, I know. There are more scary things. But this is kind of freaking me out.

That sounds reasonable. Um. How?
Also, if it's saveable, any suggestions on catching it?

On the upside, I'm not sure I've ever seen Bastet so happy.

Well now, it wasn't such a good idea to put it down next to something you can't fit under, now was it, kitty? Even a mouse-brain should be able to figure out it ought to stay under there. Of course, I can't fit under there either...

I am struggling here. How might we succor a poor, injured mouse over the Web, when our best local observer can not locate the mouse?
The cat! The cat will be nigh the mouse. It is a certainty.

It's under the entertainment center. The cat is keeping close watch over it.

Art Crawl!!!
Can you nab the cat and say, lock it in the bathroom?
Thus giving the mousie a chance to escape?

Emily, you sound an awful lot like me at various evenings.
Does Bastet bring her toys to your bed? I hope not.
Devi does.
Yes, I've woken up with dead mice.
Think of it as Darwin at work.
And if by some strange circumstance, the mouse survives, it will go back to its nest and tell the horror of your home.
Also? We really need to not name cats after dieties. It just doesn't end well for us.

Aha! You must destroy your entertainment center, instantly.
