Urgh. We have mice (again). I was sitting at my desk and I saw something out of the corner of my eye. It was a mouse, just sitting there on the floor, looking at me as if it had an appointment. Seconds later, the cat barreled in and caught it in her gob! It was still alive, so I got the cat to put it down. I scooped up the mouse in a plastic container, took it to the bottom of the garden and let it go. Cat wanted to eat it, but I gave cat some treats instead and she seemed happy with that. 

 @e12630d3 Our cat spotted a rat outside that vanish into a hole in the fence. Never saw it again, but for the next year every time our cat went outside she sat and stared at that hole.
