That is a beautiful rescue story Catherine! I am just so glad there was a happy ending. Sometimes when I have tried to save wild birds, they have not survived. Same with a little mouse....
Actually, the mouse was doing okay for a few days....then he got pneumonia (I think -as his breathing was bad)
Yes Cibach, I often wonder why cats don't make a clean kill? I have never observed a feral cat hunting, but wonder if a feral cat may kill quicker, and not 'play' with its catch? It might be that domestic cats still retain the hunting instinct, but are too well-fed to really care if they eat it or not...
