Ok, let's keep this cat thing going. Two cats my place, both killers. If a mouse manages to get in the house, which would be rare, it won't last long.
The older cat will eat everything she kills, with maybe the exception of an organ or two that isn't to her liking. The younger cat--an orange tabby who weighs about twice as much as the other one--just hunts for the fun of it.
This is where it gets a little interesting: When the orange tabby bags a mouse, which is often, the younger cat won't touch it. Even if he killed it right in front of her. He'll leave it because apparently he hasn't figured out it's food--and she may sniff it but just let it sit there. She won't eat anything she didn't kill.
They both have food set out for them, can eat whenever they want. When I give them wet food 2-3X a week, the older one who eats everything she kills acts like she's been on a starvation diet for days on end--even though she goes out every night and catches as many mice as she can and eats all of them. I have to feed them separately--the big tabby will take a few bites but the smaller cat will finish hers in about 2 minutes then push the bigger cat aside and start in on his food.
My workshop is not mouse-proof, but between resident black snakes and the cats they keep the rodent population under control.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
