    Y’know, I remember classic mousetraps (and rattraps, which were about
    six times as big) from my 50s childhood, but I don’t recall seeing one
    in decades. Perhaps he’s only ever seen other cartoon mousetraps

    . . .and couldn't be bothered to Google. First hit in image search for "classic mouse trap":
