Holy crap, it's a Bolivian jumping mouse! In South America, herds of these small but vicious predators have been known to swarm and kill house pets, livestock and even the occasional child left staked out to avert their nibbly wrath. Luckily, they only become aggressive every 5 to 7 years, according to a little-understood lunar cycle, this being known as "el tiempo de ejecución", or "the time of fleeing".
Bad juju, dude. I suggest never returning to your house again. Or buy a truckload of cats - and not the friendly purry kind either, but half-wild farm cats, and expect to lose quite a few of them before victory is won.
