There's a little mouse in my basement I think it's dead but I'm still scared of it.

I'm pretty sure it's dead. It's curled up in a ball and I kind of screamed and ran upstairs yesterday when I saw it. Then I went back down about 30 minutes later and put one of those 5 gallon Harbour Freight buckets over it.

When I got back from the gym last night I felt guilty like "what if he starves" so I crumbled up some cheese and quickly placed it under the bucket by lifting it just a fraction.

This morning I'm trying to screw up my courage to go lift the bucket and see if it's moved.

What do I do - like should I be prepared to hit it with a shovel if it tries to move away? I'm hoping it's dead but I've never been in this situation before thankfully.

It might be Mr. Jingles. You better hope he's still alive.

You're just going to have to move. The mouse will kick your arse.

I like the part where you're worried about it starving, yet are prepared to bash its brains in with a shovel

I'm the man of the house and I've never been in this situation before. If my ex still lived here I think that would have helped me be more stoic about it but when it's just me I have no such societal norm to adhere to. Perhaps that's why the need for this post - to motivate myself into action? I'll make a note to discuss with my therapist tomorrow.

Shotgun. Just blow the whole damn bucket up.
Or maybe set the house on fire.

I’m never sure if you acting like a bitch is part of your character or not

I say you should continue to torture it until one of you dies.

Sounds like the potentially dead mouse is the real man of the house.

Yah I don't know what I'm doing. Like ideally I'd get it in a shoebox and drive it out to a meadow or something right? But that may involve touching it.
