A better mousetrap?

Yesterday, I was quickly vacuuming and put the hose under a bookcase to get all the rogue feathers from costume crafting.. I heard a "thwuck." shit. I turned off the vacuum and looked in the hose to find myself eye to eye with Sparkle Mouse. Sparkle Mouse is a cat toy to whom I glued a fancy sequin tail, since Little Burlesque Kitty seems to prefer things of the sparkly nature. Stupid Sparkle Mouse was stuck in there just out of reach, and stuck good. I tried everything I could think of that we had on hand and finally had to give up and go to the store and get super long tweezers. There was only one pair left at Freddies, so maybe I'm not the only one who has had this problem?!?

But they worked :)
