Four-legged? Our cats started staking out a portion of the kitchen this winter. Our big fat cat with no claws - Jade - caught the first little visitor.

Mac has now made it his mission to catch any others.

I'm freaked out by the whole situation - do you know how hard it is to distract a cat long enough to catch the cute little mice and put them back outside? A friend told me we're probably just transporting the same mouse over and over! Wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that mice would choose a home without cats?

I finally called the rental office and they've plugged holes and put a little black box under the sink. A "mouse motel." I'm supposed to throw it away if it gets heavy.... I think THEY should come back and check it, I am really not okay with things dying in my house. Bleh.

p.s. I've never used any extended warranty that I have purchased. In fact, I believe that Consumer Reports votes in on the side of not buying them. Hopefully you'll find that the repair is less than the warranty would have cost.

Haven't had a chance to take the computer in yet but I decided against the extended warranty. I'll just hope this is the only problem I have with it until I'm employed again and can afford to replace it if it has any real problems. :)

I plugged the hole in our wall and the mousie stopped visiting but I'm going to call the apartment people and make them fix the drywall. Because I refuse to share living quarters with a free-loading rodent. No matter how cute.
