We have just had this almost exact experience. Mouse (probably brought in by our idiot cat) just dashed across living room floor to behind sofa.
Cat completely disinterested. Moved sofa and furniture, mouse cornered against skirting board.
Even went so far as to pick up the cat and plonk him down in front of mouse - no interest whatsoever.
Mouse ran to other side of room, beneath tv cabinet - cat utterly bored. Moved tv cabinet and got it out - it ran back to first point. Cat manages a feeble run to corner but in presented with mouse, seems utterly clueless as to actually what to do.
Eventually managed to scoop mouse into a dustpan and let it go up the road. Cat still useless.
Dont be deceived. This fat **** brought in FOUR dead birds in 48 hours this week.

Used to live opposite an old church and we had a new kitten. After while it got used to jumping out the window into a tree and wandering the churchyard.
One day it came back with a dead bat. It must have been over the moon. Half mouse, half bird it ticked all the boxes. It wouldn’t let us take as it reran over and over the hunting and killing process. Eventually it got bored so we took the rigid dried out bat corpse that was probably a few months old and threw it in the bin.
From that day on it was a killing machine (in its mind).
🙁
no need for this then.....
there nothing quite as satisfying as watch a mouse drowning ! 😉
Good fun reading that thread. Our one left is old and half blind now but I was regularly woken by the sound of it crunching b’fast up under our bedroom window at dawn (04.30 on) when it was younger. Worst present was a live grass snake, not good when that escaped under the sofa.
An ex of mine had a cat bring in a live blackbird once. Ex opened the front room window, managed to grab the bird and throw it out - straight in front of a lorry (terrace house on main road into Leeds)
It lay in the gutter for days....
Here's a picture of the lazy ****er:
Now you've opened the box, is it alive, dead or both?

Other than the fact he consumes food at the rate of a small locust swarm, it would be difficult to tell due to sheer inactivity!
Ours are house cats (with an external run). They are excellent at removing insects from the house.
