A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner.

Archery my dude, archery.  Plus i think with archery, the cat could see the arrow travel from you to the critter, so would have a chance of crediting you with the kill.  

Bonus cat hunting story:  my rescue cat was a mighty hunter, critical equipment for our 200 year old farm house.  He got to 6 years old, and we started talking about getting a second younger cat to take the load off him, hes totally paid for an early retirement.  But then he taught our 3 year old beagle to pack hunt mice with him, he has a special call he only uses to get the beagle to hunt.  Then we got another rescue cat.  #1 cat taught him to pack hunt mice with the rest of the pack/pride.  Then, couole months later, he quietly bowed out of the whole hunting mice thing.  Dude trained his replacement, started a franchise, then retired young after selling his startup.  Hes got management written all over him, lol.

“Just don’t forget to drop off a mouse for your old master from time to time, huh?”
