including once when my wife was meeting with another lady from the ward and the cat dropped the mouse right under the lady's chair.

Additionally, we had a mouse that lived in our pantry for over a month that I could never find. Finally got it but it took unloading a fair share of the contents of the pantry shelves to figure out where it was hiding.

New house (last 8 years) has had virtually no mouse problems. ...knock on wood.
