Do cats *really* keep mice away?

They are full of parasites. My cats don't eat mice, and the only mice they play with are little toys that *I* bring home. That's because they are indoor cats, and (fortunately) I have never seen any real mice in this house. I don't know how you are going to convince outdoor cats "not to eat mice," though! AFAIK, my little hunters have never eaten anything they have caught. They do bring home their prey as gifts, though. -- amicalement, Daniel http://toutsaufsarkozy.com/ When I was a youngster, we had outdoor cats. One of them would bring a mouse to my Dad almost every evening when Dad was sitting on the patio. The cat would then proceed to eat *most* of the mouse but would leave a little pouch of intestines. Yuck! But Dad believed that the cat was bringing him a gift and/or showing off his hunting skills. MaryL |
