Mice in house...

Yeah, we have a bit of a mouse problem. But I don't want to *kill* them. I want to catch them humanely, and then take them far away in the freezing cold where there's lots of cats. Then it's nature killing them. Alternatively, I want to bring a cat inside. Then it's a cat killing them, and I get a pet cat out of the deal.
Right now I'm looking into humane traps. Because I really don't want to be the one dealing the death blow.
Yesterday, I got one cornered in the kitchen radiator. I kept trying to nudge it out, so it'd land in a big pot and I could take it outside (far from the house) and let it go, but it was too smart for that. It finally scurried under the little fridge. And then, when I moved the fridge, it ran out to my mom. BROOM! Back to me. POT! Mom. BROOM! Me. POT! BROOM! POT! BROOM! POT! BROOM!

Where it's no doubt still sitting, assuredly plotting death and destruction upon this house. Cute little thing, but far too smart for its own good.
