My Harry, a gray tabby, once caught a mouse and brought it in. He was right proud of himself. He cried but his voice was muffled, of course, so he dropped it. It took off running and I'll be damned if he didn't SLAP! down on its tail like in cartoons. It worked, too. As soon as he picked it up again, I picked him up, took him outside, and patted and praised him until he dropped it again. It got away. Harry got tuna. Such a mighty hunter.

No, those are borrowers. Mice just eat shit they aren't supposed to, but DAMN they're cute. HopeHoops Aug 2012 #8

Sometimes they just swallow the mice whole... but not very often. sibelian Aug 2012 #12
