poultry but you never see mice?

I had a cat that was a stray. She spent every day all day hunting and eating mice. I had food in her dish but she preferred mice. The vet said that was healthier than the cat food.

Many cats may kill mice and then present them to you as gifts (yes, we're honored, but whyyy?!). If you suspect your cat ate a mouse, watch them over the next 24-48 hours for any signs of vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain. Cats are masters at hunting and in the wild they eat their prey to survive.
