I know I'm on dangerous territory but the cat never seems to do this for pleasure, merely to allay boredom. Sometimes the cat seems to walk away having finally lost interest and is only drawn back by the mouse's premature attempt to escape. The sad thing is that the domestic cat has been taken out of the food chain that once involved it legitimately with mice. The torturing is ultimately pointless.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.com
