Yeah my cat has turned in to a lazy piece of crap. But he has managed to dodge the eagles, owls, and coyotes.... so far. The funny thing is he spends a lot of time sleeping on the shelf right above the food the mice were getting into.
Not as much as I hate them... just got my Bobcat back from having the main wiring harness replaced because they chewed it up... $4,000 repair bill.I hate rats and mice. Killed a few the last couple of days and hopefully more tonight

Could have just cut back their food. If they get hungry, they'll start hunting.my farrier was shoeing a horse in the barn and a mouse came out to steal some feed. 3 cats lay up in the hay watching the mouse.
by dark there were no cats on the farm.
I grew up on a farm. My dad ordered my mom and sisters to stop feeding the cats. Those cats turned wild. We'd see them in the compost pit eating cantaloupe rinds. When we would walk past any thick cover, they'd jump out and attack a leg. My mom was taking a very large roast bone out to the dog one day, and one of the cats jumped off the deck and onto the platter.......knocking the bone and the platter to the ground, and then drug the bone into the thick cover of the garden.......growling as he went. I thought it was all was pretty funny. But the mice still seemed to thrive, especially near the grain bins.Could have just cut back their food. If they get hungry, they'll start hunting.
Sounds like they were hunting, just not mice.I grew up on a farm. My dad ordered my mom and sisters to stop feeding the cats. Those cats turned wild.

How did that stay down? Any salad shooter action going on?My golden retriever ate a Mountain House fajita chicken meal including most of the packaging. Was very pleased with himself.
We had one cat that when ever he heard my air rifle shoot, he'd come running and when he got next to me he was like a bird dog......full focus looking around for the bird. When he'd see one fall out of a tree, he was on it.Sounds like they were hunting, just not mice.
I don't know how it stayed down or really cause any issue. I do know that I have never seen a dog drink more than he did following eating that freeze dried meal. I guess between the extreme sodium and the stuff "rehydrating" in his stomach, it took all his moisture.How did that stay down? Any salad shooter action going on?
