Not many rats up here but our cat has had all those. Ours has had one stoat but not quite full grown, it was taken away so don't know if she would have eaten it.
Of the things she eats she normally consumes completly but does occasionally leave the stomach of a vole.
No, the nasty tasting things are Shrews. Our cat will happily chomp through as many voles as she can catch, that can be approaching half a dozen/day in the summer. Shrews she'll still catch and play with for a bit but never actually eats. We take the moles off her as we know the local farmer puts poison out for them.
Cat, singular, and not a big cat either. Small side of "standard". Biggest thing she has had so far is sit on your hand hand sized baby rabbit, all that disappeared, fur, bones the lot. She does eye up the pheasants and sheep but hasn't yet tried to drag one through the cat flap. B-)
We should be grateful that they haven't learned to hunt in packs ...
Cats, not sheep, obviously.
The odd sheep occasionally breaks into next door's garden, but I'm assuming that one has no kind of "droit de mouton" in such a case, and the sheep remains the property of the sheep owner. Unlike pheasant.
Talking about pheasant, I have been told if I run over a slow and stupid one, I can't pick it up as road kill, but the next person to come along can. It doesn't make sense to me.
Ah, now, I've watched both our cats hunting the same mouse in our bedroom, and I think there's a fine but significant distinction between hunting together, and hunting at the same time.
