I was awakened this morning to the desperate howling of one of my cats. I assumed she was upset about the coyotes in the woods, but when I got up to make a phone call, I saw my other cat playing with something on the floor. Because we've been chopping wood, I thought it was a small piece of bark. But when it hit the kitchen floor, it was silent, so I figured I better check it out. Lo and behold it was a little critter! It looks like a teeny tiny mouse body, only with a shorter tail, and the face is almost microscopic with a long nose, almost like a mole or possum, teeny bits for eyes and teeny ears.
It's a dark gray/brownish color, measuring maybe 2 inches long (not including the tail.) Could this be a baby vole, or is it something else?
