Answer: Yes, but it is bad for them. Could cut something going down the digestive track, seriously injuring them.
Answer:
Cats can indeed eat rats and other small animals in their entirety, but it is certainly NOT bad for them. Cats are strict carnivores, so all the nutrition they need is provided by its prey, be it a mouse, bird, rat or other small animal. The prey's organs and muscle meat provide the cat with essential proteins, fats and other nutrients such as taurine, the skin as well as other parts provide the cat with fat, and the bones contain all the calcium a cat needs.
A mouse or a rat is much smaller than a cat. Their bones are tiny and are easily crunched up by the cat's teeth. The digestive tract is quick and effective at digesting raw meat and bone so it is unlikely that anything would get caught in the digestive tract.

How can I encourage my picky cat, who only likes to lick the gravy from his wet food, to eat the entire meal and not just the gravy?
One way to encourage your picky cat to eat the entire meal is to gradually mix in small amounts of the wet food with the gravy. Over time, increase the amount of food mixed in until your cat is eating the entire meal. This can help your cat get used to the texture and taste of the food, making it more likely to eat the whole meal.

Can cats have chicken bones?
Never ever give a cat cooked bones, as they are brittle and splinter easily. The sharp edges can get lodged and can kill your cat! However, raw bones are not as hard and brittle and a cat's digestive system (and teeth) are well equipped for crunching up and digesting very small bones (such as from mice, small birds and rats). As the kittens are so young, it is probably best to not give them any bones as their teeth and mouths are still rather small.
