What eats something so tiny and does it so efficiently then leaves the head? I am guessing weasel family but IDK much about them.

Except that my cat catches mice and deposits them on the front step. She only seems to eat the head and leaves the rest, though. The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

It like a turd but its only the not yet digested stuff. Can an owl actually bite a body off of a head? I gotta admit I am stumped. Maybe yall are right.
