aside from the obvious carnage cats are capable of when eating whole prey, is there a reason we don't feed frozen thawed mice to cats? I think it's interesting that in all of the raw feeding stuff I've seen I've never seen mice as an ingredient, are they unhealthy or just gross to humans? I'm not planning to do it for aforementioned carnage reasons, I was just wondering.

I'm sure *someone* out there does give frozen thawed mice to their cats. But the biggest reason is that cats don't need mice to live and there are far more efficient ways to feed cats - commercial food for most, or larger prey species for those that insist upon feeding raw or home-cooked diets.
look. so many people use the classist card for this, but if you can't afford to feed an animal a diet that's not going to cause serious medical issues that will either kill it or require medical treatment for the rest of the animal's life, then maybe you shouldn't own this animal. "poor people deserve to have animal companions too" yes absolutely i agree, but maybe not at the expense of the animal's health.
