:( I hate this part of cat ownership. I "saved" a mouse a couple of months ago but its legs were mangled and it couldn't walk. I put it in the garage with some food and drink in the hope it might get better. It didn't. I took it to the back of the garden and set it down but the poor thing got stuck on its back and desperately wriggling. I mercy killed it with a brick.

I'm too soft to be "putting down" cute furry animals, I don't know how vets do it.

If wearing gloves surely drowning the small furry things is relatively quick and certainly less messy

I once drowned a badly injured mouse thinking it was the kindest way to do it. It wasn't. Over 15 years on and I still remember it struggling in my hand as I held it under water.

Brick every time.
