I am scared of mice. I don't mind them in cages, and I've even held one, but I really freak out when I hear one in my house. I saw one in my room yesterday and was screaming for about half an hour.

I know that they can't hurt me, I just find it creepy to hear them- and see them- skittering around my house.

No need to be embarrassed, everyone has something they are afraid of.

I super dislike mice as well. They just seem so unpredictable and dirty and yechy.

Once, I had the misfortune of living in a house that was infested. The little jerks went so far as to use my shoes (that I wore everyday) as a nighttime store house and one day I found my shoe full of dog food kibble that they had packed in there. That was horrifying.

Once I put on some underpants and discovered there was a centipede inside - is that worse? :wink:

I love ALL creatures.
My daughter used to have mice who had 10 babies when cleaning out the cage I would put them all in the bath so they couldn't escape. myself and my daughter would peer over the edge of the bath playing with them and they would start to climb up our long hair - so cute.

I love sharing my house with possoms in the roof and spiders everywhere and native bees in the wall cavity and ants in the kitchen. I once had a colony of ants i dicovered living in the crack next to the dish washer (i guess it was warm there) i would watch them for hours.

I am even fascinated by mosquites and refuse to kill them.

My favourite creatures are the ones that other people dislike
Sharks, spiders, insects, snakes etc

There is nothing I hate more than spiders.

I could do without spiders, I really hate walking thru their webs
2 cats = no mice I can not let them outside because I like the rabbits and squirrels that inhabit my yard.
