Releasing vermin is illegal, though the law is not well defined.


Never heard of that before.


Suggest you google.

Mine don't want to eat the mice. They give them to me as presents and
probably think I convert them into cat food. Why would they want to
have to remove the fur?


A real cat eats pretty much the whole thing, fur, feathers, bones,
entrails the lot. That's what our cat did with whatever she caught
from baby rabbits to shrews via birds, voles, moles, mice and
stoats(!). I say pretty much as she never ate any of the shrews she
caught (apparently they don't taste nice), bird legs not worth the
effort and as she got older she got fussy and would leave tend to
leave the stomachs of any voles.

Stomachs and skulls left behind usually.
