Is it safe for pet cats to eat mice?

It is clean for pet cats to eat mice because cats have their own immune function against mouse bacteria. Even if they eat mice, they will not be infected by bacteria. Moreover, cats eating mice can supplement taurine and enhance night vision, so cats eat mice. It's okay; but if the cat eats a rat that has already eaten rat poison, it will be poisoned or even die. Try not to let the cat eat rats casually.
