Lucky little field mouse....

As I got home this morning about 9am a saw my cat playing with something. When i looked there was a little field mouse in my cats grasp, as I looked closer I could see the mouse breathing. Once i noticed this i took it straight off my cat and took it inside.

When inside i placed the field mouse into a cardbord box with some holes in and placed some hamster bedding in the bottom. I closed the box and left it in a quiet place for a few hours.

I then checked on it and it looked the same and i thought it was going to die, but a while later i heard a scrabbling noise coming from the box and when i looked the field mouse was trying to escape so I released it in the bushes near my garden and it ran off happily.

I know this may sound silly, but i wanted to share my triumph! My cats are always killing birds and mice in my garden and most of the time im too late, but this time i was able to save a potential victim, so I'm pleased!
