Gifts....what's the worst you've had.

[PaintedDrivesAndPolishedGrass]

We rescued a lovely little girl, she'd been dumped and when DP brought her home my heart melted and we all lived happily ever after.
5 months on she likes to show her gratitude by bringing us little gifts. Every bloody day. This week we have had, a baby rat ( dead), a sparrow (dead), a sparrow (live), a moth (dead and gently placed on my lap) a baby mouse( dead, wet and placed on lap).
This morning there was a deathly odour in the utility room. After much huffing and puffing trying to move the big fridge I found, underneath it, a bloated mouse corpse which disintegrated as I tried to remove it.
Bloody vile.
This is the face of a murderer!

So glad I have thick Persians who couldn't hunt to save their lives!

Did he get drool on his gillet?

Strewth. I'd do more than froth at the mouth if I had chewed a slug.

Dead rats. Old cat discovered some under the garden shed, and hunted them enthusiastically. He liked to place them in a certain part of the garden, some of them were huge.
Another female cat enjoyed hunting worms, they seem to give off a frothy slime.
Current cat has been well behaved so far, though we have had a squawking blackbird (it escaped, with help from me).

LocalEditorEssex and TheHuntingOfTheSarky you win for me. All those nights Hunting you were sleeping not knowing there was a squirrel decomposing beneath you

Our baby is only a few weeks old but the family cat when I lived at home used to bring presents all the time. Once she brought a live duckling, me and my mum tried to take it back to the beck but it died as we were walking round

I read something recently that suggested that cats are actually trying to encourage/teach us to hunt by bringing back prey. Maybe if I actually went out and caught something the endless supply of voles, frogs, crows and rabbits would stop?

BorpCat2 likes to repopulate the garden's mouse community by bringing a live mouse in from elsewhere, chasing it round the garden for literally hours, then letting it go free.

Stupid cat.
