The pictures were taken by amateur photographer Bill McIntosh.
The 81-year-old said: 'When I first saw the cat I thought it had a bird in its mouth, but when I got closer to it, I could see it was a mouse. The cat was playing with it, running up and down trees, catching it in its claws and letting go. Eventually the mouse was exhausted - as you can see in the picture - and had a rest.'
He said: 'The cat was occasionally looking at the mouse and then looking away as if to make the mouse think it had forgotten about it. Then the mouse would run away and the cat would catch it in its claws again. I left them playing together. I have no idea if the cat ate the mouse. I like to think it didn't.'
