Sometimes they will, but this really depends on the cat. A cat can indeed eat the whole bird, including feathers, beaks and feet if it wants - a cat's stomach acid can break down feathers and bone with relative ease. Any pieces left undigested (which is very little!) are expelled with the cat's waste - or even may be regurgitated.
