Nysse has caught a mouse and is now playing with it. Batting it around, occasionally letting it run about a little bit so that he can capture it again. Sometimes he almost gets distracted and looks away and then cannot find the mouse again unless it moves. (When it’s still, it’s very invisible.) The mouse doesn’t even look like it’s been hurt – I think Nysse has learned that he can get more fun out of his toys if he is careful with them.

I have very mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this feels cruel. On the other hand, I am all for exterminating rodents living in or around the house.
