I have a pet mouse!

Thank you, Zozo, for your continued inability to realize that making proud kitty sounds causes me to appear.

I was planning to dump it somewhere far away but it's really feisty and I'm thinking maybe keep it and experiment to resolve the issue of if infected mice are oblivious to cat smells or attracted to them, because every time I google I just get a wave of conflicting information. But it'll probably bite me if I keep it because it's super cute. But it's super cute!

Ahhh I'm so jealous. I really want rats but Boyfriend is resistant to the idea and I haven't been able to convince him yet.

Just get a cat and watch the secondary pets pile up!

If he's creeped out by the tail for some weird reason, you could try easing him into rodents with gerbils. If you get adults from a shelter, they'll likely only live about a year longer, so not too big a commitment.
