What a handsome lil creature!

2 A thinker 04.19.06 at 5:30 pm

Ah, deermice. One of the least-known but CUTEST creatures. This one looks in the lap of luxury!

3 Flame 04.19.06 at 5:30 pm

OMG *faints* that’s just too cute!

4 Carl 04.19.06 at 5:38 pm

And the subtle ear-fold is worth a few points, as well…. Somebody tickle that belly, already!

12 Aubrey 04.19.06 at 6:30 pm

And what a dear mouse!

13 Heather 04.19.06 at 6:35 pm

Is it just me? I don’t find rodents cute at all. In fact, this site has increasingly gone downhill in terms of cute postings…

14 MJ 04.19.06 at 6:38 pm

aww, so cute. Nice fingernails also, that makes for a good photo. We have seen many of not-so -pretty fingernails. Nice job!

15 lazyj 04.19.06 at 6:39 pm

irrational fears are so tedious – i mean, come ON, exactly how is something soooo tiny going to hurt anyone?? rodents are adorable!

16 tish 04.19.06 at 6:43 pm

hey lazyj-ever heard of the bubonic plague? :P

i do think this animal is prosh, anerable and all kinds of other made-up words.

17 Michelle 04.19.06 at 7:18 pm

hee. kewt.

18 jaypo 04.19.06 at 7:23 pm

tiny mouse thinks: do not look directly into their eyes…they will smother me with stinky kisses…do.not.look…

[bweeek!]

19 Molly 04.19.06 at 7:31 pm

Aww, I just love deermouse bellies. Sadly, mine do not like to be on their backs unless another is sleeping on top of them.

20 Laura 04.19.06 at 7:32 pm

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww!! Yep, I think my brain is frozen due to too much CUTE! :D

21 Theo 04.19.06 at 7:33 pm

Whoa, he melted. Look, he’s dribbling off the back. Zounds.

22 jaypo 04.19.06 at 7:44 pm

oh, Theo– That’s the bell pull!

23 Zelda 04.19.06 at 7:58 pm

Aww geez, who could NOT like rodents? Hmmm? Look at those big eyes, those teeny weeny paws, that white belly! Saweeeeet.

24 you guys r silly 04.19.06 at 8:13 pm

ZELDA!!!
I think we need to knit a wee tiny sweater and cap with a pompom on the point for THIS little guy too!!!
Whatcha think?????
&;o)
P.S. And the microscopic booties and teensy mittens…

25 E. Collison 04.19.06 at 8:36 pm

That mouse has a look in its eyes – it *knows* that it pwns us all.

26 greenighs 04.19.06 at 8:42 pm

27 io 04.19.06 at 8:53 pm

29 I agree with Heather 04.19.06 at 9:26 pm

I totally agree with Heather- where have all the cute images gone?

30 Dustbunny 04.19.06 at 9:36 pm

Is deermice the plural of dormouse? ‘Cause I’ve always wondered what the heck a dormouse is and if they exist only in England.

31 the dizzy kids 04.19.06 at 9:45 pm

34 otherwise I'd have one 04.19.06 at 10:18 pm

it is truly prosh, but hantavirus is not prosh at all :(

35 M- 04.19.06 at 10:23 pm

BLIND…. blind from the cuteness…. *g*

And on that pesky old plague thing… it was actually… the bugs in the bugs on the rats who over populated because people killed the cats thinking they were evil story… deadly bacteria x fleas + rats – cats = plague …. bad bug joojoo and cool micobe math… don’t blame the door mouse or he will melt your brain with cuteness!!!

36 Aly 04.19.06 at 11:04 pm

Oh my God belly. Looks sooo soft.

37 Brak_Silverbone 04.19.06 at 11:09 pm

My tuxedo cat gets this exact same facial expression when he’s lying on his back sometimes. “Wouldn’t you like to pet my belly? It’s very, very soft and warm…” I think this wee mousie knows how cute he is!

38 The Guy Over There 04.19.06 at 11:13 pm

If I was the size of a mouse to that mouse, I’d be tempted to jump right into that soft white belly and lie there all happy and warm.

39 anon e mouse 04.19.06 at 11:40 pm

love to eat them mousies, mousies what i love to eat, bite they little heads off nibble on they tiny feet ;)

40 Kimberly 04.20.06 at 1:17 am

Adooooorable mousie.

And his owner has very pretty hands, too. No wonder he looks so comfy.

41 Theo 04.20.06 at 1:29 am

Kudos to Anon E Mouse for the silly screen name & Kliban reference. Whee!

42 lily 04.20.06 at 2:05 am

I looked! And now I have to try to type without seeing my keyboard, since I’ve been BLINDED by the cuteness! Talk about overload!!

43 deirdre 04.20.06 at 3:51 am

so trusting…it seems to be adoring its person while it’s being adorable! and the tiny feets…this could be the favorite

44 Subhangi 04.20.06 at 1:29 pm

[robotic voice] Yes …. Master.

45 moptopmouse 04.20.06 at 2:27 pm

Yes they are called ‘broth mice’ up north.. yer pal mtm

46 stu's_mum 04.20.06 at 3:04 pm

Thanks for the nice comments – I’ll pass ‘em on to Stu…
Quick facts:
Stu was found by my cats at 10 days old (before he could see/hear) so he grew up in my hand and- obviously – thinks that’s the safest place he could be since I was the first thing he ever saw
- He gets a cuddle / belly rub for at least an hour a day and if you tickle his back leg he’ll stretch them waaaay up in the air – also likes his chin and teeth rubbed
- Deermice are not dormice / doormice (all v. cute though)
- By the time we found out what he was it was too late to worry about Hantavirus (which obviously he doesn’t carry). Not really around here anyway – but always make sure to spray water on any droppings in shed from his extended family to keep dust down in case. No probs.
Thanks for the nice comments about my hands!

47 Zelda 04.20.06 at 3:11 pm

You guys R silly — YESH, definitely a wee little cap and mitts for this mousie. Can you knit?

48 CanadianSnowPrincess 04.20.06 at 6:45 pm

Don’t Deermice carry really nasty diseases? Like the Hanta Virus or something?

49 CanadianSnowPrincess 04.20.06 at 6:46 pm

Apparently I”m a bad reader that doesn’t finish reading things before wanting to post…

50 core 04.20.06 at 7:39 pm

It’s yet another example of what I humbly suggest otter be a rule of cute – if you have a white tummy you must show it! All of my cats with white tummies displayed them proudly, the bigger the better.

51 Carl 04.20.06 at 8:30 pm

Fuzzy Wuzzy was a mouse.
Fuzzy Wuzzy had a well-manicured house…

52 andrea 04.20.06 at 8:45 pm
