Do cats eat their prey after playing?

I guess your cat had consumed the little mouse that he catches. If the cat is full, you can observe that by being calm, cleaning itself with the tongue, or sleeping. If you observe that, it means the cat is full and that the mouse is in his stomach for good. Good day.

[em[/em]mipen2006 some do and some done so you well might have
a mouse running around loose, or yet your cat might
have ate the mouse. hope the cat did eat it and that
the mouse is not half dead someplace where you wont'find it
until it starts smelling up the place.yuck.

My guess is that the cat just swatted it somewhere, maybe under something or around a corner shelve. Its probably still there somewhere. Even if she did eat it, she would have left something, tail or pieces.
My cat used to catch stuff and bring it to me. My neighbor told me thats what cats do for their owners, kinda like a gift.
Or is it possible that the mouse was still alive enough and took off? I have had that happen also.

i dont have a cat either. but long time ago, i was then about 12, i remember having a cat in the house.
some just play but others do eat them. iwwwwwwwwwww!! but that's their nature. problem is if they try to keep it somewhere just like what you probably are thinking. well, i hope not.

I don't think the cat eats it. It might have been stuck somewhere or escaped. I saw a small mouse once my cat played with it out of curiosity. wild cats I imagine will eat anything but indoor would be more selective because they know food is always available from us anyway.

Most of the time cats only play with their pray. I dread opening my back door every morning because of the "gifts" my cats leave on the doormat. It would be mic, birds or insects. Insects I don't mind. But imagine a dead mouse with its innards and head all over my doormat. It ruins my breakfast really. But cats are cats. I wish you luck and hope you find the remains of your cats' toy.

Oh yeah, they'll eat it. Or he may have left it somewhere for you as a present. If he does that, don't get mad at him. He's trying to feed you, and it's a good thing.
