It's worse when it's a pigeon.

Oh yes but it is easier to get rid of them given their size and it unlikely to happen in the night.

Only a mouse? Mine brought in a live budgie and let it go.
And I also left my cat home alone 7 years ago for 5 days when I was working away (it was fed twice a day by a neighbour) and when I arrived home TWO cats walked down the stairs to greet me. The bloody thing had found a female friend and let it move in.

It's worse when it's half a squirrel; top half, with trailing entrails.

You evidently don't have enough cats, or that would quickly cease to be a problem.

Ours became friends with the mouse, like a perfect Tom and Jerry setup.

You'd think so, but it isn't true.
We once had 5 cats (don't ask).
One of them brought in a live mouse & let it go. None of the cats showed the slightest interest in the indoor mouse & left it to us to evict it.
At least 3 of the 5 were active hunters - but only outdoors it seems.

It is in my house.
Perfectly understandable. I've had the same number.
Only one of mine seems to be interested in hunting outdoors, usually frogs. However, any mice that venture into the house are doomed.

Its a bloody sight worse when its a rabbit and they do a Pol Pot on the bathroom floor.
At last all I found of yesterday's rat was the tail.
They eat pigeons outside.

When my daughters were teenage they often dragged more repulsive things than that through the door late at night.

Ours was unpopular when she caught and scoffed *most* of a mouse... she would always leave the tail, the arse, and a wet end in the middle of a walkway waiting for someone to intercept it in bare feet! ;-)

Don't be daft. Half a squirrel isn't going to go bouncing around the room...
Fully live isn't too much of a problem, just watch the cat and they'll let you know where it is.
Dead is fine it isn't going to run away and hide.
Fatally injured but still able to move I don't like. Having to dispatch them.

Ours would also do the catch & release (indoors) service for frogs as well.

Year round, ours follows postpersons around collecting their discarded elastic bands. Odd but rather useful.
Summer, wildlife, but I think she's getting the message after repeated chucking out with it in her jaws.
