cat dashed in with a mouse and dropped it on the carpet - then snatched it up and dashed back out again. I followed and daft cat dashed back in house and dropped it on the carpet - quick as a flash I caught it, locked the cat in and let the poor little traumatised thing go under a large bush - it'll probably die of shock, but at least I feel better about it now

I did that with one my cat caught. It ran off round the front of the building. I can imagine it going into it's mouse hole and saying 'Guess what just happened to me, I beat a cat! and it was THIS BIG!'

He brought another one in live, and there was a face-off in the lobby bit, both sat there staring at each other...then suddenly the mouse jumped up and bit the cat on his nose. He's never brought another one in since, dead or alive, though I do find dead ones outside.

That mouse didn't live to tell the tale Ann, poor thing, died seconds after he did that.

Hmmm, I just leave mine to it now after the near miss I had not too long ago!

I went to rescue what I thought was a baby bird (cause it was making such a racket) the cats had brought in, and for some strange reason I decided to put some gloves on before trying to catch it.

Really glad I did cause as I reached under the table where it was hiding I discovered to my horror, as it bit into my gloved hand, that it wasn't a bird but a baby RAT!!!!
