Had a kitty bring me a mouse, he was sure I would love. He came in the dog door with it and dropped it at my feet. It got loose so I set traps up around the house. That morning I was fixing breakfast for the kids and all of a sudden the insides of the toaster started jumping all over the place. I flipped up the toast and out came a smoking mouse. He disappeared again to be caught in a trap a few hours later. The hair on his tail was completely gone, along with brandishing a few scars on his back. Needless to say the toaster was toast. No one would eat anything from it, had to buy a new one!
That’s a hoot. But I bet you didn’t think it was so funny at the time it happened!
