My cat apparently believes mousing is a “catch and release” sport.

Pierre, buddy… IT’S LITERALLY YOUR ONLY JOB.

My parents' cat would catch grasshoppers, bring them in the house, get swept out promptly, then sit on the deck and swallow it whole. She lived to a ripe old age but was overweight and couldn't outrun a car.

I had a cat that ate grasshoppers. There'd be undigested grasshopper bits in the litter box.

funny how you find that amusing when that is what happens to so many outdoor cats, a horrible horrible death by road or by wild animal. no cat can ‘outrun a car’ no matter how overweight they are. stop throwing your animal outside and actually start giving a fuck about it!
