Dead Mouse

Well, this morning I woke to a dead mouse, killed by one of the cats, on the dining room floor.

After removing the mouse and calling maintenance about the problem, we located the entrance from which the mouse entered the apartment.

We managed to put everything together at that point. The cats had been watching the kitchen every night for the last couple of months, so there has been something going on there for at least that long. We've been hearing noises in the ceiling for more than a year now, and attributed them to squirrels on the roof or echos through the walls from other apartments. We'll find out soon where things go from here.
