Aaah he looks a little sweety! What sort of mouse is he? He doesn't look like a field mouse. Well done, Amelia Jane, I've been following this thread since you posted it and have sent distant Reiki to the little fella.And, I've noted some of the advice on here for when I need to deal with a cat-casualty.
My cat is rather fond of birds, unfortunately as soon as she sees us, she runs off with them, so we can't rescue them. It is too late by the time she leaves them for us.:( We've tried everything, a collar with a bell and a beeping device (recommended by the RSPB) but she still manages to catch them. On theplus side, the mice that used to plague us must have packed their bags and gone elsewhere, we've seen hide nor hair of them since we got our little Missy.

It is a shame when animals kill other animals - and bring them to us as gifts! Our lurchers are expert hunters and often take down birds in the garden. Then they just look at it with a "what do we do now?" look on their faces [8D]
It's all part of nature though, whether we like it or not. Animals still have the hunting instinct in them. If we didn't luxuriate <such a word?> them so much with pet food they would be even better hunters. At least most animals hunt for food, whereas some humans hunt for sport [:@]
