I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Bastet and Devi seem of a kind. If she's got an attention span, she plays with them to death. If they truly get away, she forgets...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

OK, it's now too late, but from my above link, the two best ideas seem to be:

  • dry ice in a container (carbon dioxide)
  • engine starting fluid (which is almost pure ether)

Oh, just smash it, tommyrot. Fer crying out loud....

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

tommyrot is still looking up ways to snuff mice. We would worry about tommyrot, if we did not know better.

These sound like excellent ideas for putting a pet mouse to sleep. For finishing off a cat-caught mouse, however, it'd probably be more practical to find a vet, since I have neither of those ingredients.

Thank you, sarameg, for not saying "tommyrot, snuff it!"

poor Emily, injured in pursuit of a mouse!

Does that help?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ow, poor Em!

Hey, I can't help it if I find humane mouse-snuffing to be an interesting technical problem, with more than one solution....
