A Mouse Under the Refrigerator

Surprise company. Goody! Cannot wait. It has been years since their visit Dare I mention there is now a mouse Living under our refrigerator? We were not aware ourselves until last night around eleven-thirty My husband thinks the cat chased it in I think the doggy door needs to be locked We have already captured two stray dogs, four cats, a rat, a rabbit and a squirrel There are skunks out there too Should I warn the company Or let them be surprised too? Oops! Better put on your shoes. You are heading toward the kitchen.

I had not heard of these, but then how would all the strays get inside?

I'd be befriending it like I do every other four-legged; it's just me.
