Has anyone ever considered giving a spare feeder mouse to their cat? I'm thinking about it; one if my cats is from the Humane Society and they said she used to be an outdoor cat before we got her. We don't want to let her out though, because our neighborhood has a lot of other cats and she had a leg amputated as a kitten (she's fine, gets around great and it barely affects her, really,but we don't want her getting into a fight with another cat). She eyes my feeder mice a lot, although she knows better than to eat one without permission. At least we know if a feeder ever does get free, she'll get it before it gets into the walls.

I was just wondering what other people thought and did. I know it has all the same moral issues as live feeding with snakes to give a cat a live mouse, but she really seems to miss they prey response. We play with her with cat toys often, but she always ends up back at the mouse tank. It's just something that's been on my mind, made me wonder if anyone else has done it
