Today Mr Poofy caught a good-sized mouse. He caught it by the back gate, which I thought I had sealed — apparently not! There are so many holes around the property fence it only keeps rabbits out.

Knowing the cat’s playing habits, and that the mouse would be alive and in severe pain during the upcoming hour that the cat would be swatting it around the yard, I put the mouse out of its misery with a heavy branch. After that, the cat immediately lost interest in playing with it, so I put some fine mulch over the mouse by a secluded spot in the yard for it to decompose.
