OK I get it.  He had mice, then he had to get rid of the mice so he got a cat, then to get rid of the cat he got a dog.  Eventually, Isn't the elephant going to ruin his interior?

Yeah...looks like Meow Mix to me, too...mice use that stuff to train the kitties.....

That looks bad, and it is.....but I've seen worse. As was mentioned earlier...mice/rats/birds CAN go in thru the exhaust, and wind up on TOP of the pistons. I blew q snake skin out of a tailpipe once, too....

Vette(s): 1982 C3 Collectors Edition 44000 miles, sat in the sun most of its life, My wife purchased it for me for Father's Day in 2007 from her girlfriend that had it for 19 years. It is on the road again. I'm retired but it is now my daily driver.
Actually I love my Electronic Mouse trap. It is like this one http://www.amazon.com/Victor-Electronic-Rat-Trap-M240/dp/B000LNX06C/ref=sr_1_7/187-9674318-8258162?ie=UTF8&qid=1386092862&sr=8-7&keywords=mouse+trap+electric  

However I purchased mine from Home Depot.  

You do need to check it often.  I caught 3 in one night and 2 the next day.  Cleaned out the family that had moved in for the raining season.  

All you do is put a little peanut butter in it and you are off and running.  

If you want to see how it works load it with a metal knife instead of a plastic one.  I'm smart enough to never have been shocked  by it but a friend of mine was interested in how it works and got a little careless.  

So I can witness that it does seem to get your attention.
