Re: Cat brought home live mouse
If the cats aren't on mouse patrol I suspect it's dead. It doesn't get as hot in the Summers in the UK as it does here in Washington; it's been my experience when one of Leia's mice eludes her and dies it dessicates rather than becoming smelly. I often find a small dried out mouse that she's found somewhere and brought out in plain sight. So I hope yours, if dead, doesn't go the smelly route! Good luck.Re: Cat brought home live mouse

I've never known any of my male cats to hunt - too lazy I guess - but Pepsi was the great white hunter/huntress?Re: Cat brought home live mouse
Sparky is thirteen and still brings in mice and birds, I wish he wouldn't. He eats most of it but always leaves some of their internal organs on the carpet, right by the kitchen door so I have to careful where I step in the mornings. Once, while I was taking a joint out of the oven for Sunday lunch, he pushed himself through the catdoor with a live wood pigeon. The poor thing escaped and flew around the kitchen, feathers flying everywhere even getting stuck in the hot beef dripping. Had to throw everything out and have a sandwich instead. We let the pigeon out and it was so stupid that an hour or so later it perched on the fence right outside the back door. Before I could stop him, Sparky leapt up, grabbed it around it's neck and it was a gonner. What gets me is, he is supposed to be in kidney failure and on a special low protien diet and there he is chomping away at birds and the like!Re: Cat brought home live mouse
kizzy dosn't seem to be inyterested in hunting, she likes the ducks that visit regulary and comes and tells me when they arrive so I can feed them, she also likes to watch the birds that come to the bird table, none of my cats have been hunters
