In our neck of the woods, we have small and very flat mice. Flat? Yes. They appear to walk-crawl about the grass and beneath the shrubs. I think it may be a learned thing as we have Ravens, Crows, small Hawks, and a few stray cats that they are avoiding. They are cute. I should teach them how to use knives defensively.

"A mouse's footsteps are very quiet, likely below 20dB, but are accompanied by other sounds from their movement."

I have a bat in my attic. Seen him chillen there today it's like a screened in vent so it's not inside the actual house

DO you hear their chirps? Very few bats carry diseases. What they are is supa-helpful as pest control. They eat all the bugs that they can find. We have little bats in our area. I do not know where they go to sleep or rest. But at dusk, they zoom by the home making their little radar chirps.

thats like watching looney tunes for the first time

Looney Tunes was wild. Some of the animation skits went on for such a long time, yet, they grabbed hold of you for the entire time. I loved the barber one that was like an mini-Opera.

My neighbor has a dog. I hear it barking.
