Wild Weasel loose in house. FFS
Discussion
Blooming cat has just come in with a "present" for me, plonks it on doormat and starts meowing basking in his awesomeness, with this great big long brown furry "dead" thing..........As he basks in his glory, this thing awakens and is off. Cat, turns as if to say "WTF?", creeps over to the corner, weasel is up on its back legs making an horrific noise I've never heard the like of, (like a bird's emergency call), and there is a terrible smell. Cat takes a look, panics and clears off, rather distressed. I now have a rather angry weasel, about 8 to 10 inches to long in my hall, stairs and landing, an landing that, may I add, it is very much "dominating"!
Cat has genuinely lost it, weasel chased him at one point and he jumped from top of stairs through the banisters about 12ft down. I opened the front door and the cat legged it, but the weasel has taken refuge in the shoes all lined up in the hallway. I am poking them with a sponge mop and every now and then, he jumps out of one shoe and into another. But is so flipping fast, and some of the shoes are brown, I cant keep tabs of where the hell it is.
Any ideas on how to catch this thing. He is quite lively and the cat is no flipping help. He will be in therapy tomorrow i think. Sodding cat is crap!
Anyone know if I can entice the weasel with food, I have a builders bucket that i could rig up "Mousetrap" style to capture it, but jokes aside, it is so angry / scared, so fast, I cannot see how the hell I can catch the bugger. Will RSPCA come and get him.......? Pretty evil little sod by the look of him.

I don't have one, but I think this thing would scare any dog I know in the street!
It's so fast, I genuinely cannot see if move against the dark oak of the floor. I just managed to pick up the shoe it was in on the end of the mop, and get it outside, only to find it was no longer in there. it's "missing" now, but has not left, I am sure, as I keep hearing this awful noise it is making.

not much help but we need pictures to fully set the scene 
I wouldn't sleep easy tonight.... 
1. They’re Killing Machines
They might have cute little faces, but weasels are also bloodthirsty. It’s a matter of necessity: they have super-fast metabolisms and need to kill and eat about half their body weight every day. As a result, they’ve become fearsome hunters. The weasel corners and grabs its prey, wraps its muscular body around the animal to immobilize it and then delivers a single killing bite to the back of the head, puncturing the skull or spinal cord. You know what other animal kills like that? The jaguar.
