So That's Where my Hazelnuts Went!

Winter's here in the Northwest. Mice come up the vents into our homes. Fun.I noticed a small hole in the bag of hazelnuts I eat when watching TV. Tossed the bag.
I've been hearing a mouse in the walls near my computer work station for a few days.Last night I turned off all the house lights to go to bed, and immediately heard it again.
Logic says the little bastard was probably in my work area, chewing on cables.As I got closer, you guessed it. He'd crawled into the back port of my KEF 150's.
I covered the port, took it to the garage, and caught the fat little guy in a live trap the next morning.Opened the speaker, OMG maybe 60 nuts, and some cat food. Not the first time this has happened.

I can’t really blame the little fellow. I like music.  I like honey roasted peanuts...

Man, imagine if you were just chilling in your living room, eating some snacks, listen’n to some tunes then BAM, someone locks you in your house all night only to then trap and kill you in the morning...

@1111art I'm wondering how long you were trying to figure out what instrument it was you were hearing before you found the nuts! Just a faint wood percussion of some unknown origin! I checked out Random. Nice boy. I've got one like that who let's me continue to spin him rapidly like that and another whose fav game is to run and jump on a rolling computer desk chair and ride it like a mechanical bull.

Got married in 78 & lived in a run down house in the country. I was sitting in my recliner, eating popcorn, listening  to my AU 717 Sansui & SB-8000 Technics. My wife let out an OMG, I looked down & there was a rat sitting on his haunches, begging for popcorn. We both jumped up, scared the rat into a closet. The wife got our cat & threw it in with the rat. After what sounded like a Battle Royal we opened the door & out came a happy cat carrying the rat.

fertguy,

You and your cat are lucky they didn't encounter this rat:
