To think I'm not a crazy person for not letting my cat kill a mouse?

[LokiBear]

My 6 mo kitten just bought in a mouse, still alive, and proceeded to to toy with it as cats do. I tried to get him and he shot out of the back door. I chased him captured my kitten, made him drop the mouse and then after checking it over, walked the live, uninjured mouse to a nearby field away from my furry monster! My husband thinks I'm ridiculous. I'm not am I? I understand cats kill mice. It is nature, I get it. That is fine. However, I can't sit back and WATCH them kill a little mouse. My husband is practically splitting his sides laughing at my 'stupidity'. Someone back me up!

Yanbu my cats have bells on there collars but any that they manage to catch that are still alive go straight back outside.

YANBU.

I rescued a bird from a neighbours cat. Poor thing probably did die in the end but I couldn't sit there and watch something be needlessly killed.

Argh I was just reading through the rest of this thread and spotted out the corner of my eye the kittens race past in pursuit of DDs hamster! I've caught Tiggywinkle and put her back in the cage but am now really worried she will die of shock. They were sort of chasing and batting at her with paws. Oh bloody hell, DD wouldn't cope very well. Hamster is kept upstairs on a high shelf but obv escaped a while ago to have got all the way downstairs.

No YANBU, mine are indoor cats so I never have a problem with mice ect. But I do save daddy long legs and moths from my two. Spiders are on their own cause I'm scared of them

Is this you?

My dogs catch birds and yes, I will release them if still alive... in fact, even if dead. I don't like to clean that mess up.

My dogs are tethered, how they manage it is beyond me.

Also harness, not collar. Safer (I too worry about "hanging").
