I have 3 cats but a few months ago one of them came home with this
creature he had picked up. He did not kill it but the 3 of them were
chasing it around but neither of them would harm it.

It managed to get under the furniture and so I was able to catch it.
It had been making a squeaking noise and was about the same size as a
mouse. But it had no front legs and a sort of bottle nose like a
dolphin.

My first thought was that it was a baby hedgehog but they have front
legs. Does anyone know what it might be or has anyone had their cats
bring in something similar ?

I took the creature back out and put him under the fence which borders
the woodland. He was not hurt and soon took off. I kept my cats
indoors for a while so they would not bring him back.



Gopher or a vole.
