My Cat Killed A Mouse

No, if he has his shots he will be fine. I guarantee you he has done this before this is just the first time you've seen it.

He hasn't had a shot in a few years. That's my concern.

OP, are you (G)(R)Umpy?

Oh I feel stupid , I thought you wrote that he "frequently " had rabies shots. I think the point still remains though, mice seldomly carry rabies. Though if he's an inside cat you probably have a mice problem you are going to have to address. I adopted a stray a few years ago that probably hadn't had shots in years and was pretty much living on rodents and he's fine . If you're very worried you can take him to the vet as a precaution but I think it will be fine.

No worries. I had a housebound cat who killed a mouse in the apartment and she was fine. I did not take her for annual shots.

Dear God, no.

Mice seldom carry rabies.

The bigger concern is probably parasites if your cat ate the mouse.

Mine never eat the mouse, just deposit it where I can’t miss it to guarantee a shriek from a 50-year-old man.

^ Forgot link.

Op, you should be proud of your lil mouser !!

No, he was just showing it off proudly and batting it around. I'm just worried about him having been bitten.

My cat didn’t eat the mouse either. She just bounced the poor thing around a bit.

Toying with their prey.

I had a mouse years ago and my male cat who had been feral as a kitten just hid behind me when he saw it. The female went after it and killed it. She was fine.

What happened to g-r-umpy?

His cat fed on his body after his roommate killed him, R14.

Yeah, it’s a bad memory. We don’t dwell on him.
