Shit - AKA Mouse Part 2

My bad. I look over when I hear Stella-cat meow, and lo and behold there's a mouse in her mouth. I figure I'll just go over, grab her and throw her outside so they can settle it. Doesn't quite work out that way, as she runs away into the kitchen. I follow, and then - Viola! I have her...

And then she drops the mouse. Who looks at me for about half a second and then runs into the space under the stove.

D'oh!

Stella-cat's still crouched there.
