What's worse?

1. Your cat bringing in a dead mouse, disembowelling it under the spare bed, and leaving a trail of entrails across the cream carpet?

2. Your cat bringing in a live mouse and continuing to play with it while letting it live -- thus forcing you to decide whether to a) intervene to save the mouse (the squeaking is driving you crazy), although there's no obvious way of capturing the mouse or b) shut all the doors and put the other cat into the arena in the hopes that she will finish the mouse off quickly?

We opted for 3 -- chase the cats (with mouse in jaws) outside, lock the catflaps, and ignore the potential carnage in the garden.

Bloody cats.
