Ok my cats caught a mouse today in the house and I am freaking out. I wasn't home at the time, a family member found it in the middle of the kitchen floor (yuck) and it looked dead so he put it in a bag to show me when I got home (double yuck!) Well it turned out to be alive.
Anyway what I am wondering is what things do I need to worry about my cats catching if we might have more mice in the house? What can I do to protect them from diseases/parasites they might catch? Help please!
I guess in a way it's a good thing they left it in the middle of the floor because otherwise we wouldn't have known! The cats have been poking around in the corners the last week or so, but I thought they were just being weird.
I am not actually sure if they even know how to kill a mouse, because I rescued them as 3 week old feral babies so they never had a momcat teach them how to hunt properly.
I am really surprised a mouse would even want to go in a house with 5 cats!
