My last cat used to catch rats as well. Most cats won't touch rats, there's an old wives tale that they're poisonous to cats. The real reason is that rats fight back, in packs, and are capable of killing small cats! But that said, there are more mice to catch around here that's for sure.
I'm pretty sure he wanted to eat that mouse too (I personally wouldn't care since he's wormed if it's not for the risk of secondary ratsak poisoning), he wasn't too happy when I took it away!
I hope he catches another one soon - he keeps going to the shed and waiting in the shrubbery and has nothing else to show for it thus far.

"That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances. He didn't look up cheating because he wanted to stop, he wanted to justify what he was doing and to keep that continuing on." - Nicole Cooke
