A couple of weeks ago I came home to find that one of the cats had brought in a mole, and it was running all over my living room, with that blind and funny walk they have. It was undamaged, though the cats were all playing with it, and I managed to catch it and release it outside. I didn't think more about it till I mentioned it to my neighbour and he said that cats don't eat moles for some reason. They catch them purely for play. Can this be true? Does anyone have a cat who catches/plays with/ eats moles? and if they don't eat them, why. My three do eat most of what else they catch - the other exceptions so far being a snake and a slow worm.
