"The greatness of a nation and its moral character can be judged by the way its animals are treated." -Mahatma Gandhi

Anyone who has had the pleasure of earning the love of an indoor/outdoor cat has probably also received a gift from that animal. Cats love to hunt, and bringing home a kill is a way of saying, Hey, I like you. Youre part of my family. As when receiving any unpleasant or unwanted gift, its proper for humans to simply say thank you by patting the cat. Later, the gift may be disposed of. If the captured animal is still alive, use a catch and release trap to humanely capture it and return it to the wild. The best, and healthiest, way to keep a cat from bringing home animals is to keep the pet inside.

It is wise to wear not only rubber gloves when handling a mouse your brave hunter brings in, but also a mask, and to thoroughly scrub any surface area the mouse may contacted with a disinfectant.
