i really want one. they're so small and fluffy and squeaky and liiittle. but my cats would eat them.
saw some recently at my friends' farm. he wants to get a cat (he needs like three) because their garage is FULL of like a sea of mice. but they're so fucking cute! i just want to hold one and squeeze it.
Yup, they're cute when they are not in my house. And PS, the second pic is a dwarf hamster and they are super cute as well. I think they're cute, but it does not change the fact that the wild ones carry disease and that is what grosses me out. Seriously woman, where do you get these cute little pictures?!
I adore mice, and have owned several through the years. (Though your second pic down isn't a mouse. It's a Roborovski hamster, and a terribly cute little beastie.)

i shoulda known! that midget-tail o his. foiled again!
Yes I like mostly all furry pets! We had two rats but had to put one to sleep last week . He had a lung disease and they tried to save him but he wasn't responding and his heart rate kept dropping. We decided to give our other to a woman that works at the vet that has rats that way our little guy won't be alone since they are better off in pairs or more. It was hard but he became depressed, not wanting to come out of his little house since his brother was gone and he was alone. We didn't know their life span was so short and we didn't want to buy another.
I had (or maybe still have) a mouse in my book-shelf. It just ran in one day and refused to leave.
There are 9 cats in the house and 2 in my room. No one ever caught it. I think the cats are just too well-fed to have cared. It ran right across the floor and they just watched it and did nothing.
Lol
Hey aliceinthehole,
have you ever read "Of Mice and Men".. totally unrelated, but when you said "saw some recently at my friends' farm. he wants to get a cat (he needs like three) because their garage is FULL of like a sea of mice. but they're so fucking cute! i just want to hold one and squeeze it." it made me think of the big dude who wound up killing rabbits on accident.
See, I think they are cute...but. They do not become affectionate like other small and furries, and they are a bit dirty when it comes right down to it. You can never truly tame a mouse you randomly find running around your garage...and if you are into the really small and furries, why not spend the same amount on a hamster or guinea pig that can learn to at least like you somewhat? Granted, some people have mice that have become familiar with their owners and swear they love them back...but in my experience (farm girl, vet tech, general animal lover) most of the time, they are just pooping, eating, money using critters...that being said...eff what I just said, if you want one get one! If you keep it properly caged your cat won't get to it.
Oh, and p.s...if you try to pick up and gently squeeze one of those wild ones, please wear gloves! I got bit when I was about six trying to save a mouse from one of the barn cats...was not a pleasant experience...but they're still cute
