Best way to catch a mouse?

It's quite simple.

You need to rig up two cogs, rotate the cog mechanism, which in turn pulls back a trigger that, when released, hits a lamp post with a boot hanging from it, the lamp post swings round and the boot kicks a bucket containing a large metal ball. This ball winds it's way down an uneven staircase and lands in some guttering. It travels down the guttering and hits the bottom of some scaffolding, at the top of the scaffold is another precariously balanced metal ball, it rolls down a kind of diving board thing and lands on a see-saw. On the other half of the see-saw stands a swimmer in the diving position, he is propelled into the air and back flips into a big tub, this unbalances a big pole and the cage will awkwardly desend and trap the mouse.
 
i had mice, so i got some of those sticky pad things, work well and the mouse is still alive when you catch him, so you can despose of it humainly between two house bricks or pull it off and let your dog 'play' with it

Double sided tape (the really wide hardcore stuff). Coat one side of A4 card(to give rigidity.)

Remove the top layer so it's sticky on top.

Stick anything chocolaty, sweet or cheesy in the middle.

Voila.

Make sure it's the incredibly sticky double sided tape.
 
Not my cat:

A couple of years back, new years day I discovered a mouse in the house (whilst playing PGR2) and made some indication of this to my parents who were next door.

Not good they say try and catch it. Pause the game and start moving funiture around so it has nowhere to hide. Just then in comes the cat. Perfect we think. Pick up cat and deposit him near to small animal. Mouse runs under handily positioned shoebox. Cat becomes interested and starts clawing at the box.

I lifted up the shoebox and the cat made his move.....straight to the kitchen to get some food?! I guess he's smarter than he lets on.....


Short version: My cat is not a mouser :(
 
One of these in an up and down smashing movement:

Well that's what they do in Tom and Jerry :D

Otherwise try and trap it under something and gas it to death with deodourant.
