I had good luck with a cat who liked to kill chipmunks, until he died. I can 
take some credit for that, since I drew chipmunk stripes on his toy mice when 
he was a kitten.

When we had a horse this was the way we kept the mice/rats in the stable 
under good 
control.  I was never very happy with the ethics of it, (it takes a long time 
for them to drown, 
and I always worried about causing sufferring, ["of a rat!", you say... yes, 
even rats have 
feelings.], but it does work, (at least with mice and rats).
