Our cat brings in the odd birs in the summer, this orning I woke and came down to find two dead baby birds - not sure what sort. I cleared them up, and just now went outside and found, next to the catflap, their little nest

It is tiny - about 6in across, made from hair and feathers and moss on the outside.

But the saddest thing is that inside it, clearly defined are the shapes of the two babies, who must have been nestled up asleep in it when the horrid animal got it

Their poor mummy. I feel awful. How can cats do this, she seems to think it was a great gift to me and is rubbing round my ankles.

Oh I totally sympathise, one of my cats is a baby bird murderer, i had two tiny, just-hatched chicks brought in yesterday, still warm when I picked them up. I dread this time of year. I sat down and wept last year when my bloody cat brought in a robin and a wren. I despise this aspect of cats. But they really are only following instincts.

It's only the cats instincts. It's the way they would survive in the wild.

Oh god, I'm welling up at your description of the nest and their imprints on it 'nestled up asleep'!!!
