I had a busy day at work followed by an evening out with my mom. I was home for a couple of minutes after work before heading out again, and definitely walked through the living room at this time. In total, I was out of the house for about 14 hours today. My boyfriend did stop by to feed my cats for me, but didn't go into the living room.
My cats are twins named Kit and Clank(1.5 y/o) Their typical hunts include spiders, houseflies, mosquitos, and the occasional wasp. They are strictly indoor cats because Clank is on immunosuppressants due to an immune disorder that essentially dissolves his teeth otherwise, so I know that they didn't bring it in.
I have no idea where they found it, how it got in, or if there are more.
When I returned home this evening, I didn't turn the lights on right away. I thought the two of them had dragged a toy mouse out of their toy box. But... I don't remember ever having a toy mouse with legs...
MY INDOOR CATS KILLED A MOUSE AND LEFT IT IN THE LIVING ROOM!
After panicking, almost having a heart attack, and finally, begging my mother to get rid of the corpse for me, I of course, thanked Kit and Clank for their contribution to the household. When I interrogated Kit, he refused to tell me where they found it and if there were any more.
My mom described the corpse as "stiff," which leads us to believe that it had been dead for a while.
The door to my dryer is closed, I had my ducts cleaned and dryer vent inspected, all of my windows and doors were closed and locked all day, except for when both my boyfriend and I stopped by briefly.
Now I'm deep cleaning my entire house because I have no idea where my stupid cats dragged it to and from today.
I wish I had been home today, because maybe I would have known 1: how it got in, 2: if there were more, and 3: what surfaces in my house it touched and did not touch.
But at least I found a dead mouse instead of an alive one.
TL;DR indoor cats murdered a mouse and I have no idea how it got in.
