Due to clearing up after the cat this morning, my mind was on live mice rather than the computer variety. At least the cat leaves a relatively tidy pile of entrails, blowing one up would spread the mess over a much wider area.

the bottom of my bag and it's pockets were all equipment falls has crumbs, dust, bits of paper that accumulate within hours of a weekly cleanout. the valve could end up pretty icky with human saliva to stick to. i don't think my bag is unique in this respect as a good number of the laptop bags i see are fairly similar.
I was thinking along the lines of real mice and then thought of the Python sketch where he use the mice in a Xylophone.
As for the first poster. My cats tend to play with the mice a bit first, which mostly leads to it's death. They will continue playing with it after it's died or even play with one another cat has killed.
Our cat likes to play with mice, she brings them into the shower cubicle in warmer months because they can't escape up the slippery sides (I've watched before now). Plenty of half-eaten ones outside at the moment though, saves on buying catfood. I've yet to see her blow one up though, alive or dead. The computer mouse just gets sat on, usually while I've got my hand on it, which makes using the PC a trifle difficult. Anyway, an inflatable one would probably get punctured by a claw.

The fingermouse! You slide a cap over your finger with a usb connection to the computer and voila!
Spell-check didn't find this word in the dictionary so it must be new!
$400 fine for anyone using 'fingermouse' in any form! It is still concept but I am sure I can provide a viable version in the near future.
Ah, yes Charlie. Mine is the one with the dead-mouse smell and no, you can't smell my finger!
