Would fingerprinting the cat be too weird?

Our lovely NDNs have a cat that often comes over to our house and makes himself at home if they're out. He's a keen hunter cat who brings them lots of presents of dead mice, birds and the occasional rat. They're vegans and we've joked about him bringing home mushrooms instead.

Would it be too weird to put a muddy pawprint from the cat in a Christmas card and leave it on their doorstep on Christmas day with some fancy gift-wrapped mushrooms? I think it would be funny.

Oh that’s lovely😊 What a nice neighbor you are.

I did wonder where you would find a compliant cat, mine is obstinate in the extreme and will not be bribed with food but you seem to have some awesome cat whispering skills😻😻

I hope you get your chocolate, even if it isn't from your fluffy one!

My friend posted this today, which felt appropriate for this scheme. DH took me painting next door's cat in his stride, amazing man that he is.

This card made my weird little heart happy just reading it 😍😂

I may have just put my cat at risk of identity fraud

Genius 😂😂😂😂

I was thinking of making him cross an ink mat to get to some treats. But then I don't really want inky paw prints on my kitchen floor. And my neighbours might question why his paw is coloured in.

LOVE it.

But please definitely do not use ink as it will absorb into his bloodstream if put on his paws and added to that he could lick it off his paws so another route of ingestion! Small animals require a much smaller dose of something than for us humans for it to have a bad effect on them.

Mud or some sort of food sauce (check what it poisonous to cats first though) would be best option!

The present has been dropped at the doorstep. This may be the end of them thinking I'm a normal person 😬

I've received a response via the WhatsApp group:

The weirdest thing happened today! DCat gave us a Xmas card and present! After all these years he's finally showing some gratitude.... Also explains where my £5 note disappeared off to! 🤪

Amazing 😅

Xmas Grin

your lovely NDN have appreciated the present and obviously have a great sense of humour .

Our cats did the Badly Wrapped Presents for DS (23) and DD(20) but made me buy them.

Cats have deep pockets and short arms it would seem..........

Reasonablereasonableness · 24/12/2022 20:02

This is completely mad!

I love it 😻!

RockingAmadeus · 24/12/2022 20:10

Our neighbour's cat is always hanging about in our garden and one day I came in to find him on the kitchen worktop helping himself to my pot of homemade chicken soup. I told the neighbour about his CF behaviour months ago.

Last week I came home to a gift bag on the step with a card from the cat and two tins of replacement soup 😂
