Um...no. The risk of hantavirus, however small, is just not worth it....I don't want anything that has a mortality rate of significantly more than 50%.

just wondering, this mouse looks like he could be freindly, but I never get my hands that close. I don't want rabies or something. but he does sit look up at me and beg for food. lol

Some infested our home.. would be willing to take them to a shelter, but the cats got rid of them..
It's funny, they weren't declawed, but kept their claws retracted, carefully batting at them whenever they didn't move, but didn't chase them. Eventually they just went away - we never found a dead mouse. |

I had an older cat (10+ years in age), without front claws... and he had lost most of his teeth. He was one of the best mousers! He trapped a mouse and killed it and even drew blood. Not quite sure how... What a good cat!
