What does the cat do with the mouse?

Answer 1

Depends on individuals. Most cats will try to capture it or chase it. That's what my cat does anyway. But if it doesnt maybe its lazy or just not that type of cat. Try it out with a moving toy mouse if you want to know how you cat will react.

Answer 2

Slowly and painfully. It is actually really cruel. They taunt it, torment it and torture it for hours before finally killing it. First they chase it around for hours, catching it and then letting it go and then chasing it again. Then they start torturing and maiming it, and then finally they kill it.

I've never actually watched the whole process from beginning to end, because I am not hardhearted enough to be able to watch a mouse get slowly torn apart limb from limb before my eyes. My cats usually kill mice when I'm asleep (because that's usually when the mice come out, when the house is quiet and everyone's in bed). But I've had to pick up the remains that are scattered around in the morning: a back foot, a tail, a head, pieces of intestines and other internal organs.

I've seen them just beginning to play with mice, cornering them and chasing them and carrying them around in their mouths. But at that point I normally rescue the mouse and take it outside.

Answer 3

It attackes it until it is dead and then eats it. It usually licks and bites it until there is only a bit left. Our cat always leaves the same little bit at the end.

Answer 4

To a cat, a mouse is prey -- lunch on the run, so to speak, and also to a certain extent entertainment.
