 I have newfound empathy for Elmer Fudd

A single brown rat has found entry to my house and is hiding out in my ceiling. For the past few days there's a cat-and-mouse game going on between him and me where I see him show up places, I throw in rat poison and hammer the holes shut with cut pieces of tin can lid and he loudly gnaws new holes to spite me.
He knows about me and he knows I know about him. When I hear him gnawing I hiss at him and he actually stops for half an hour or takes his activities to another room.
The varmint is on borrowed time, I saw signs of rat poison having been eaten here and there, I just got to keep him from doing any more damage to my woodwork before he succumbs.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE

HAAA!! HAHAHAAAAA!! HAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!! 
I just saw the critter dash across the wall of my hallway and scoot behind a plate of compressed wood standing against the wall.
I casually strolled by and then gave a swift fierce kick against the plate smacking it flat against the wall. I peeked behind and there he was, my nemesis.
It was not actually a rat but a huge mouse, his body almost five inches long.
His body was flattened and his eyes had popped, death had been instantaneous, which I'm kinda glad about cause I didnt want it to suffer.
And my house wont smell like shit either 
All is quiet in my house again, no more gnawing and no more being outwitted by a mouse on steroids.

Lol I love this thread.
My buddy has a mouse in his house too, he said he just starts stomping violently when he sees it, playing similar games. He told me though, he hopes he never kills it...because at this point it has become his friend 
I have something digging around in my wall right behind my bed. My cat goes nuts, but I couldn't give a fuck less. Its been in there for years (well, I guess I mean a similar thing has been in there for years) and has never gotten through.

Theres something very primal and humorous about a Man vs Mouse battle. It gets humiliating though if the critter keeps winning.
Last thing he heard was my victorious battle cry

It turns out I have a lot more mice than that big one 
Just now I saw one of the biggest ironies I ever witnessed: two mice fighting over a heap of rat poison, then the big mouse got on top of the pile and stared down the smaller one with a look like: "GO AWAY! IT IS ALL MINE!"
I felt sorry for the smaller mouse so I put up a second mound of rat poison a bit away and he took to it. Then a third mouse came and the smaller mouse fought him off.
Eat my little bitches! There's plenty for all of you 
I feel like such a Nazi for doing this

Also, I know what you mean about feeling bad. I don't like killing anything. I "had to" set down poison (and mothballs...lol) for a rat in my house. I actually heard it thrashing in the wall as it died. 
But it is a potentially disease carrying pest in your home. They can cause structural damage, and promote disease. Look at this as a survival situation. Sure, the rats may not have MEANT you harm, but they may have harmed you or your home, nonetheless.
Just use it as a lesson of respect for the beauty and tragedy that is the circle of life.

I felt bad for a mouse when I heard the mouse trap clamp down on it and the mouse hissed right after then died.

Mice are cute, intelligent, cunning and endowed with a soul but.. They are also little bitches
There have been so many territorial fights here lately of mice fighting hardcore for supremacy over the sudden abundance of "food". You never saw or heard them in times of poverty but now they are rich they are rolling over the ground fighting and biting each other so hard that they squeak in pain.
Can't you share the abundant resource and live out the last days of your lives in peace? 
I'm vividly reminded of families fighting over an inheritance, the opportunistic aggressive trading on the stock exchange trading floor, of how we in the First World have so much wealth yet are more greedy and selfish than ever.
Ya, I'm anthropomorphizing them.
They're having the party of a lifetime, so much abundance everywhere they go, they're in a frenzy and now they can even occasionally be seen and heard, getting sloppy as they scoot from pile to pile like ecstatic piranha's.
The all-you-can-eat Jonestown buffet is open. I have increased the number of piles in busy locations to minimize the fighting. Time spent fighting is time not spent eating, and I want them to absolutely stuff themselves as fast as possible, because that maximizes the number of lethal doses they ingest, and will assure that they suffer for the minimum amount of time. I want them to party hard and then suddenly get struck down by hypovolemic shock as they start internally bleeding suddenly out of every single capillary at once.
The party already has passed its peak. Sightings and sounds are sharply on the decrease as more and more partygoers kick the bucket.
There's no odor in my house  I followed a Youtube exterminator's advice to make sure that theres nothing to drink for them in the whole house, so that when in the terminal phase the thirst sets in they go outside to drink and never make it back inside.
Based on the amounts of bait taken I estimate I had between one and two dozen mice, most dead now, and they live in the wall between my neightbors house and mine. I guess they eat from his dogs bowl  I will first see this through and then plug the hole so that I don't prevent them from heading outside (or my neighbors house LOL) to die.
He probably thinks his dog is sick because he eats a lot less.
DO NOT WANT 
Edit: I just saw a mouse leap over the business end of a mousetrap, grab a pellet of exterminator strength rat poison, leap back over the mousetrap and get back into the wall. Go ahead and spite me bitch, you won't laugh for long
