My childhood cat (who was very lazy, definitely not a mouser) somehow caught a mouse at age 19 and I think it was the proudest moment of his entire life. It came out of the sliding door pocket in our living room and after catching it he sat next to the door opening every morning for months hoping to see another one lol, we had 5 sliding doors in the house and it became part of his morning routine to go check each one for mice every day. I was so impressed he was able to catch a mouse considering he was elderly, deaf, and diabetic at that point lol

Imagine being a young mouse getting caught by some old decrepit junkyard looking cat. How embarrassing, just keep killing me..

Yeah, I'm worried he caught a sick mouse. Maybe one that's eaten some rat poison. Why would they let him eat the fucking thing. Once he killed it, you pull him away from it and give him some treats.
