my cat caught two today and left them alive in my kitchen.
I have some bungers here but I'm not sure they'd do the job.
Suggestions?

Hold them just behind the back legs, take the head/neck in your other hand and give 'em a sharp tug - pulling each hand away from each other.

Last time I had to personally kill vermin, I used the underside of my Le Creuset skillet, ranged accurately and walloped with lethal force.
Slightly sickening, but highly effective.
Consider - these two rats are that which you know about - just think about how much other wildlife your cat decimates each day.

You could also put them in a bag and gas them if you have a car and a line from the exhaust.

You spend too much time killing small mammals, Moth.

if they're not badly harmed why not capture and release?
as if killing two rats is going to put a dent in the possible infestation issue. you think talk will go around amongst the rat community about your torturing them to death?
where you should be focusing your attention is in sealing the entry points in your house. they're just cold. can you blame them really?

Yeah.
Actually, if you live in the country, I would consider eating those rats.You should train your cat to get squirrels too. They are apparently very tender and delicious.

i like the baseball bat idea but one of them's scuttling about like crazy. Why won't the cat finish the job for me?

for fucks sake, where's your imagination, if a man can't kill a couple of rats for kicks these days, where are we headed I ask you?
home made drainpipe mortar sounds like fun to me, pick your worst neighbor and launch them into his greenhouse.

Why don't you use some radiation. It worked for my on my last job.
