Dumpling Cheese - Arm and disarm.

When armed in a non-stockpile location, the following warning appears:

You should select another bait.

Costumed Mice - The 8 costumed mice are shown in the order they were introduced to the game and must be caught in that order.

Initially, only the Costumed Tiger is available. Capturing the Costumed Tiger will remove it from the mouse population and add the Costumed Rabbit.

Capturing the Costumed Rabbit will remove it from the mouse population and add the Costumed Dragon. This pattern continues until the Costumed Rooster is captured.

Capturing the Costumed Rooster allows all the costumed mice to appear in stockpile locations at the same time.
