I wish I'd have seen this thread this morning!  
 
I came downstairs this morning, to find a really chubby 1 legged mouse crawling in circles in the living room whilst both of my cats sat watching it.. giving it the occasional push onto it's back, the bullies! I went for the man approach and got out some chopsticks, and slung it as far as I could.  
 
Which upon reflection was a stupid idea, because the cat went straight after it and it's probably back inside as we speak!
