We lost the cat about a month ago, probably coyotes (joys of country living / daughter is still heart broken). Cat wasn't much of a mouser, more of a birder. Hard to teach a cat: bird, good, mouse, bad or maybe it should be the other way round.

 

LOL.... sorry about the cat, I've lost a few to Ki-oats too. Keep trying, you'll get a good kitty eventually
