Well really, poor little thing.LOL I've never had one in the house, yet, but they will come right on my porch, so I watch. Did have occasion to chase a mouse around the house though, so I can sure relate to the chaos. And after a couple nights of hearing a metal banging sound in the house, we discovered we had a raccoon in our chimney. Thank goodness the damper was shut!! Only set us back about $300 to get it out and protected againest it happening again. Oh, had a little baby snake in the middle of the den one night too. Talk about screaming!!!
