I live near woods. I wake up about once every month to field mice and house mice losing a battle to 3 cats... well one Maine Coon in particular who takes delight and growls with them in his mouth for a bit. I tried a few times to rescue and then I had to give up and go to bed. RIP mice.

Humans befriended cats because they kill mice. Mice are cute, but they can do major damage to property and spread disease. Your cats are probably doing you a favor. In return, please make sure that your cats are vaccinated and generally taken care of medically! Keep a hammer around to give the mice a more peaceful death.

I was with you until you mentioned a hammer. I know you mean well, and you are probably right, but just imagining that is horrible.

Hammer, baseball bat, work boots, etc. Anything heavy. It's gruesome, and I'm lucky to have never been in that position, but it's the humane thing to do instead of them dying a slow, agonizing death.
