One less mouse
Emily, the mighty huntress, caught(?) her first mouse (that I know of) at
age 15 yesterday at 3AM. I hope she caught it and didn't find a dead mouse. Got out of my bed to visit her litter pan and came back with a mouse in her mouth. Pandemonium for about an hour. She finally ate it - all but the head. Hope she doesn't catch a disease or get a parasite. And digests it ok (two normal BMs since). Oh well, she had a lot of fun. -- "When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil." - Max Lerner |

We VERY rarely have a mouse in the house, three in 15 years, but it is certainly a treat when it happens. If I didn't think that they're cute I would get a few to release just so the cats get some exercise. That's when I get very happy that I'm far bigger than a cat. They are such awesome killers and so sadistic. It isn't enough to kill a mouse, no, you must play with it and toss it in the air a few times. |

My B-K (found in a Burger King parking lot) loves to catch mice and other little critters, and bring them in the house where the other cats (4 others) will play with them. I usually hear the commotion, and catch their toy and let it out....:^) |

I glnaced into the hallway and saw Espy and Nipsy starring at something on the floor between them. Turned out that it was a baby possum. It looked dead so I picked it up with a piece of paper towel and it was quite alive. So I liberated it into the neighbors yard. There were several more baby possum incidents that day. Apparently a mother had let them loose near my backyard and the cats kept finding them, and I kept rescuing them. |

They aren't likely to eat them, so when they "die", they lose interest in them. We have several of them who come up on our porch at night to eat the raccoon's dog food, and I have yet to find a dead one..... |

Hope you took him or her to the vet. Eating a rodent they can catch
anything... My cat ate a live bird and he caught (I call them tummy bugs). Yuck!!! |
