'Baited' breath suggests to me that you ate some cheese and then lay on the floor, mouth agape, waiting for a mouse to run into it (and if that is what you meant, by the way, my sincerest apologies!).

I believe there was mention of croc eating dogs with baited breath earlier today by nomesque.
*edit* I think that should have read 'crocs with baited breath eating dogs', but it sounds the same either way.
