[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What did my cat just kill?

DangerJ I am deplorable Joined May 2007 Posts 30034 EE Offline IA, USA	Posted: 12/21/2016 8:10:21 AM EST My early morning surprise is learning that sometime in the very recent past my cat found and killed a small mammal inside our house. This looks like a short tailed shrew, right? Really doesn't look like a mouse. Good boy, Max!

In before vole, and I'm going with mole. My cat loves to hunt all these varmints around my deck, not exactly sure what they always are.

ETA: changing my guess as shrew, since I just caught one exactly like that in a peanut butter baited mouse trap in my shed and it looks exactly like your pics. No webbed feet. And now I get to vote!

Wife woke up before me, she stepped on it while navigating to the kitchen in the dark.

So the resulting rukus woke me, after inspection the critter was dumped in the trash.

Kitteh appears to have mauled it and then punctured the neck, he seems to be doing fine. Inspected him for any battle wounds and it looks to be a flawless victory.
