Ooookay.

One of my cats either has very fast or very incomplete digestion: this is the second, nearly intact mouse foot I've found sticking out of the end of a cat turd.  Intact enough that I could tell it was a hind foot, both times. 

I'm glad my cats are such efficient mousers.  What doesn't thrill me quite so much is finding evidence in the litter box, either in the form of a bloody-ended mouse tail on top of the litter, or the mouse foot in the cat shit.

  1. I guess with cats, it's to each their own!

    Yesterday my 5 nailed 2 mice--it's always a competitive hunt....with growls and all.

    Then it ends up with my oldest cat (PepPur, he's pushing 10) who eats the mice--BUT he leaves the intestines laying somewhere on the floor--never seen remnants in their cat boxes.

    1. Binx caught maybe five mice, and only in the last two years of her life. She never figured out that they were edible.

      These two, on the other hand...caught five mice the week they discovered them. And I'm not counting the ones they found in the traps.
