Today, my cat brought home a bloody, barely-living mouse. The thing managed to escape and dragged itself into a crack in the wall, where it must have died. The only way to get it out before it starts to stink up the place is by demolishing the wall. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my cat let a mouse sit on his paws for several minutes, then just sat and watched as it scurried into a crack in the drywall. My cat is only 4. FML
Today, my cat attempted to make up for my insomnia with a dead mouse. I have no idea where he got it. FML
Today, I woke up to what sounded like twigs snapping. Turns out it was the skull of a live mouse being crushed in my cat's jaws. FML
Today, I was cleaning my room when I found a nice surprise from my cat. While I was on vacation, she killed a mouse. By the time I found it, there were maggots crawling in my carpet. FML
Today, I found a mouse stuck in a glue trap at work. I had to take it home to get it off with oil, and then I released it outside. Twenty minutes later, the cat returned it to me, dead. After that, the dogs dug it up where I buried it. Sorry, mouse. FML
Today, our rodent problem was taken care of. I discovered this when my cat projectile-vomited a soggy, death-scented wad of dark fur and tiny organs onto the couch. FML
Today, I woke up to my cat slowly dragging her paw across my face. I opened my eyes to see a bloody mouse dangling an inch from my face. It was still twitching. FML
Today, my cat started screaming nonstop outside my bedroom. She's never done this since she was last in heat (she's 7 1/2 years old), so I was worried. I opened the door to find that she had "killed' a mouse (a fake one, formerly attached to her cat tree) and was very proud of herself. That's cute, but… really? FML
Today, my 2-year-old cat finally decided to start catching mice. Like any other cat would, she left it for me to find. I found it in the middle of the night, as my bare foot rolled its guts out of its ass. FML
Today, I discovered that the rancid stench in my bathroom was a decaying carcass of a mouse in my toilet tank. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Why demolishing the wall? Can't you just cut a small square into the drywall??

Better to do it sooner than later... The smell will only get worse

And then the cat's going to think "wow they demolished an entire wall just to get my present. I've got to get them more of those!"

In all likelihood the cat facepalmed the moment that mouse went into the crack and is now thinking that OP is a complete failure at hunting.

Coming from someone who has owned a lot of mice (they repopulate like crazy) they're small and really don't have much of a smell as they die. If anything just light a candle in that room, but you probably won't notice an odor anyways.

Don't sweat it. Seal it up.

Close the hole it got in and you have no problem. You'll never smell it anyways. There has been a dead mouse in my mother's basement for over a year now and we still haven't smelled it

As many others have said, you won't smell it. Mice don't really smell. We had a mouse problem at my last job, I stumbled upon a few dead mice in my time there but it was never because of the smell drawing my attention to them. Never smelled them, nobody else ever did, they don't smell much if at all.

You could also blow hot air in the wall, making it so hot the mouse dries up instead of rotting away.

Or you just cut a tiny hole. Or better yet, slip packets of desiccant into the crack. They'll mummify it and it won't smell at all. Duhhhhh

Living mice are stinkier than dead mice. Don't worry about it.
