Another Tale of Mice and Kin

Mice have always all ways been a part of my life - both directly and indirectly. Some of my kin are catastrophically afraid of mice. Every time one is spotted where we live, the shrieks come on assuredly. Some of my kin are extremely interested in mice and whenever they are seen they become the participants in detailed ethnographic research pursuits. Another of my kin is somewhere in the middle. Somewhere between having a mouse as a pet and viewing mice only from the relative safety of a kitchen chair (because there are always mice nearby in the kitchen). Mice as kin is a leap that some are unable to make. Mice in fact are just another being in the animal kingdom - just like us :)
