German: Miez ist gut im mausen und dabei sehr ordentlich. Aber Katzenfutter aus Huhn schmeckt ihr leider doch besser.

Happy well feed cats hunt for sport. If you don't feed them they will eat the mice but only untill they are full and will let other mice just run around.

Probably depends on the cat, I had a cat that wouldn't always eat what he hunted, but the rest would get dissected and the body parts organized in creepy ways, don't think he was letting any go for lack of hunger

They do indeed do that, don't they?

It always makes me imagine what woukd happen if cats had become the dominant species on Earth instead, and taken to the stars. They'd be almost like the Daleks - they'd be a murderous technocracy ruled by a priesthood of scientists who demand new aliens to dissect, regularly.

But still so cute.

We had lots of cats when I grew up. Quite a few selected carefully what parts of mice they ate and which they didn't. Like, down to the organ carefully.

Was looking for the last sentence to be "Ask me how I know." 😁

That's easy stop feeding the farm cats and the mice get to be a big problem. Feed them regularly and you never have any mice.
