To tell the little fucker she has to take her Christmas present back?

[Hurr1cane]

Took in a litter of orphaned feral kittens in May, hand reared them, kept one and rehomed the rest to lovely friends.

I am a strict vegetarian and hate even cooking meat for DS and DP.

Feral kitten though it appropriate to bring me a dead mouse on Christmas Day and leave it on my doorstep.

I have to wait for DP to bin it because I can't stand dead things.

I saved the fuckers life and this is what she does to repay me? Well, that and tip over the heist as tree

My cat used to bring in live rats, release them and then lose interest and saunter off. They are buggers.

too funny

YABU. It's what they do, you should probably have realised that. No need at all to call the cat horrible names just for catching a mouse.

I think the op meant for this to be light hearted. Some people are getting a tad worked up

Our cat knows his seasons. Robins at Christmas, bunnies at Easter. Mostly alive, and running/flying round the house. Such fun

I was only joking Uncle. She can't talk human you know. I do quite like her, I did get up all through the night every night for a month to bottle feed her and her siblings to keep them alive.

I've told this many times, never needed to embroider it...

Father and his girlfriend had come to stay, long before he came to live with us. I was doing my best, lots of fuss, handing over the drinks etc and we were watching Disney's Cinderella.

Our tom cat wandered in with a mouse in his mouth, bit its head off in front of the girlfriend and smirked as if to say, 'this one wasn't wearing a hat'.

The girlfriend had hysterics while we tried to coax the mighty hunter to part with his prize. I wouldn't mind but the cat was a house cat. He never left the house. He must have sent for the mouse mail order.

All the time the whole circus was going on the video (it was that long ago) was paused at a mouse dancing with a cheesy grin on its face. I've never seen it the same way since.

Taffeta, bunnies?? Not bunnies!

Honestly I've had cats since I was 11 years old and I've never had one that hunts before. I usually get older rescues though, never get kittens.

Was there a cat in Cinderella as well? I haven't seen it for years but half remember some very mean cat dirtying the floors after she's just cleaned them and trying to eat her nice

At least she left it on the doorstep. My cat brought in a dead mouse and hid it under the furniture and we didn't find it until it started to stink. Then he threw up on our bed. Bastard.

Bunnies, yes. And only at Easter. For the last three years. And he never takes stuff upstairs, except the bunnies, to DDs room, so def a gift. They are lovely.

Oh, except, once he came to our bedside at 3am, with a gigantic, flapping blackbird. How the fuck he got it through the catflap, I don't know.

Consider yourself lucky, we used to get half snakes and lizards (Different cat) and a live baby rabbit.

My cat didn't bring me a gift. Aibu to feel a bit sad about this? tbf I didn't give him one

Oh, I started this thread as a lighthearted joke, but now I'm dreading the future with hunting cat

I have one cat that's too fat to clean herself properly (not my doing she's lost loads since I adopted her 4 years ago but still...

One who has minor brain damage and bangs her head while walking so can't catch anything.

One very very big rescue ragdoll cat who would be dangerous if he wasn't so lovely, wouldn't hurt anything.

And now feral kitten, who is clearly going to fill my home with dead things for the rest of my life.

Caulkhead - well that's obvs where you're going wrong. Taffcat has a stocking - cat milk, Dreamies, the lot.

My cats had one stocking between them, a bag of dreamies each and some posh cat meat.

One of my cats brings things home but refuses to share with anyone! Neither of them got me anything at all. How ungrateful, although one of them did sit on my knee for a long time last night - which is rare! I did have a cat who brought me at least one gift every day while he was alive and when i removed the decking, there were a multitude of corpses and skeletons under it!

My cats are not regular hunters, when they hunt it's mainly baby mice they catch...it's so funny, one of them (the girl with whom I have the strongest bond) brought a dead baby mouse once and she saw so exited and proud about it. I could tell because her miaowing was different. I made the right noise, saying thank you, good girl etc...the same week (it was summer so bbq season, it's relevant)... She brought something again and left it at my feet, doing the same proud miaowing ...on closer inspection, what I saw was not a baby mouse as last time...but a small piece of bbqed pork complete with rosemary :-) was it a mistake ?

He isn't even my cat - belongs to the neighbours but Will Not spend much time there nor would I I give him milk, and he attempted to eat some of my chocolate, but that's it.

My friend had an advent calendar for her cat.

At least being feral, he might not have the social skills to want your other cats to be in his hunting party to bring bigger game back home to you.

Have not had a robin, but Dcat brought in a beautiful live wren a couple of weeks back and it had 3 humans and Dcat frantically trying to catch it while it flew around.

DDog didn't get me a thing. Not even a card.
Ungrateful sod.

At least your cat bothered.

IABU. And entitled.

Sorry.
YABU.

But you know that.

She thinks you need looking after

She is training you to be a huntet. Once you mamge to deal with dead creatures she will start bringing half dead ones, then (and this os where it gets fun) alive and kicking ones. Flying ones aiming for windows in your home. Rabbits running down your hallway. Mice running under your sofas....

angelicjen your story just made me and DH actually LOL.
