Leaving dead mice all over house help! - Page 2

What a nice kitty, providing for her family! We had a similar experience when we moved to Idaho. Meeker loved chasing the mice that lived under our fridge and would bring them to me live, either trying to teach me how to kill them like she would her kittens or just bringing me a present, lol. One time she caught a baby mouse and it tried to get away once she set it down and she swatted it once with her paw and the poor thing was dead.

Why do cats present us with their kill? I've said it before, it is because we have such poor eyesight, and reflexes, and teeth, and claws that cats are sure if they don't hunt for us we'd starve to death--and then who would clean their litterboxes?

Your cat is doing its job by killing the mice. It loves you enough to want to make sure you're eating well.

We once had neighbors who had trouble telling the difference between "backyard" and "garbage dump." As a result, mice everywhere...until one of our cats went to work...then, once he got going, the neighborhood ran out of mice and rats, and he started on baby possums and eventually knocked out the local possum population too.

Keep the rabies shot current in case any of the mice are infected and put up a biting fight, and enjoy your three letter mousetrap!
