Most unusual thing your cat has 'killed' and brought home for inspection

[whomovedmychocolate]

A tampon (unused but unwrapped).

A whole family sized cooked and hot steak and kidney pie. How she got it in is beyond me. The previous owner of the pie was the man that lives behind us, he told me he'd been making dinner turned around and when he turned back pie was gone. Poor man thought he was going mad

LOL!

A slow-worm. He was carrying it in his mouth like a Retriever. It was still alive and unharmed. It was swiftly returned to the wild...

Oh also a huge pigeon once, although I am certain she didn't kill it, she was awful at hunting, I think she found it dead and thought it would look impressive if she brought it home

Oh and a mole - I'd never seen a mole before. I was very excited. As was the mole but perhaps for different reasons. How the hell did he get a mole?

Our (now dead) white one used to dig up animals the other cat had killed and buried (he thought he was a dog) and 'claim' them as her own. Despite the fact they were stiff, muddy and clearly not fresh

PMSL at the mole, that really is impressive! I've never seen a mole either.

Mine used to have a thing for latex gloves. Every day a dirty latex glove would be waiting for me in the kitchen. I went to the new doctors surgery down the road and they admitted that their bins weren't secured yet (vom).
Luckily, a few weeks later I was chatting to the local mechanic and noticed that he used them, and he said his bins keep being disturbed. He secured them and it never happened again.

The other cat, who was always too dim/uncoordinated to catch anything better than a dragonfly which was already dead and stuck to a slug, bought us a live bat!

undertheboredwalk - zombie hunter cat also once tried to get a seagull by leaping onto it from the shed room. the seagull took off.

The cat clung on for a good few inches before letting go too!

LOL, that's a very cool cat! I wish I'd seen that. We lost our useless hunter last year :( and am waiting for a home check to go and pick up our new kitten from the shelter.
I can't wait, kitten we picked was quite clearly insane and full of amusing potential

On the mole point, I used to have 5 cats and a mole in the garden. The cats all took it in turns, proper shifts no less! watching and waiting for the mole. They got it in the end, took about a week though.

This is a new rescue cat. We knew we had badgers but had no idea we had moles - no mole hills. I reckon he dug it up himself. Little bugger.

When we got him, the previous owners said 'oh he doesn't hunt, he's very lazy '

fan belt, and very proud she was of herself, too

I remember sitting at my friends kitchen table when her cat came in and dropped a hamster onto the table. The poor thing was alive (just) and the cat just sat on the table expected praise for bringing such a lovely gift!

It belonged to next door the cat had gone in the back door (they used to leave food out for her she had two homes really) and they had been cleaning out the hamster which was in a box in the living room.

My poor friend never lived the shame down.

A very large and very black, overcooked sausage. She ran up the garden with it in her mouth like a dog with a stick.

I can only assume that it was barbecue wastage that she retrieved from a neighbour's garden. She looked so very pleased with herself that we just praised her for catching it and let her get on with chowing down on it. A very happy cat that day!

A none to happy grass snake, that promptly bit her, and me while trying to get it out of the lounge, summertime is a nightmare, she brings moths, and all sorts of creepy crawlies in.

Nothing unusual, but they brought in a live rat last week that took up residence in our spare room for 29 hours :shudder:

Had a few moles, but we're well in the country so not unusual. The most horrible thing was walking round the side of the garage and spotting a headless rabbit with only three limbs left. I went off to get a shovel to clear it up and came back to find it was gone again. Birds and mice are regulars.

A big wood pigeon. Dead but completely in tact. Found one morning at the bottom of the stairs, some 35 feet from the cat flap. Weird as the usual alter was the middle of the dining room rug (patterned so sometimes hard to spot bits of dead mice).

The funniest was a dead mouse (of course on the dining room rug). Whiskers - gap where body should have been - then tail.

We had a mouse living behind the washing machine in the utility room for weeks. When I finally pulled out the machine to look behind as well as finding the mouse I saw a pile of poo in one corner and a pile of dry cat food in the other. Felt like I was living in a Tom & Jerry cartoon.

LOL @ the cat and the seagull!

daft girl cat went through a phase of bringing back the circular plastic strips that you pull off the edge of milk containers. She had a huge collection of them in the end

daft girl cat then moved onto worms nothing like finding a nice fresh worm, with your feet, when you walk into the kitchen first thing in the morning without lenses in. Not sure if that's better or worse than having to chisel dessicated worms off the floor..

girl cat then took a break from hunting for about 12 years until she's taking up mousing in her old age

stupid boy cat isn't much good at catching real prey, but had a habit of removing sausages from frying pans, sometimes while they were cooking . I cook them in the oven now for their own safety! He's also brought back cooked chicken drumsticks (complete with silver foil) and a small exotic bird

We had a good hunter and a bad one. The bad one was always trying to play catch up and would present us proudly with extremely dead leaves and very alive frogs - many, many frogs. Also a slow worm once, she walked up the garden path with this slow worm curling round her chops like a posessed spanish 'tache. Her most surprising catch was the caterpillar of a hawk moth - blimmin HUGE it was and happily alive

Ours brought back a mole and several rabbits. My parents' cat brought back a rat once. A friend once told me her 2 cats used to lie in wait for grey squirrels and ambush them together as a team.
