Eek! A mouse! There's a mouse in the house! Quick! Run! Oh wait...that's just my reflection in the mirror!

I'll make a deal with you. Give me a nice home like those hamsters are getting, and I won't gnaw my way through your walls. Is that fair? Please don't leave me alone outside, as there are lots of animals that would like to eat me!

Just make sure my living space is clean, and provide me with food, and I'll provide you with all the love you need! But if you don't like that idea, I'll just live inside your walls and eat things when you least expect it. Come on, isn't it better to fuss over me than chase after me?
