First or craziest thing your cat brought home?

[househuntinginthesouth]

This morning our sweet kitten came in with a new friend for the first time...she was carrying (well, hanging out of her mouth) the largest f'ing dragonfly I've ever seen in my life .

What's the first thing your cat brought home? Or the craziest thing they've brought back home?

My old girl has always brought home Dragonflys and tiny frogs

Oh, that's wonderful - it's an elephant Hawk Moth caterpillar!

Do you have Fuschias or Gooseberries in your garden by any chance? That's where it needs to be put back.

I can’t do links but if you Google Slippers cat duck it brings up a video of a cat called Slippers which brought a duck home.

My cat loves a damsel fly! We get lots due to our location near a big river. The craziest thing my current cat has brought home was a lizard. She also had a thing for big hairy spiders for a while. She didn't like the feeling of them wriggling between her teeth though, so used spit them out, preferably onto our bed!
Last cat liked to bring us rain worms as gifts.

I bloody love this! I remember when I first saw it! It's hilarious hahaha

My three-legged cat used to bring me various 'tribute', unfortunately he could only catch inanimate objects: crisp packets, cigarette cartons etc. His finest (oddest?) moment was when he proudly presented me with a 1982 badge collectors' magazine. It was 2003.

A rainbow trout head.
A still-warm buttered hot cross bun.

Previous cat once dropped a tiny dead bird right into my mouth while I slept

Another time there was a bit of a scuffle around the window and through the net curtains appeared my 1 year old ginger female dragging a very large ginger tom cat thru it who she took into the living room and she chased him around for an hour before releasing him. I tried to help him escape and everytime I gave him a way out, she leaped full body across him pinning him down

Currently have 2 and thankfully one is only interested in chasing flies and I have no gifts from her at all, boy cat brings me dead or half dead birds at least a few times a week, lucky me.

A giant native worm (I'm not in the UK, the native earthworms here can be enormous). She came in the cat slap and dumped it in a pile on the carpet.

I couldn't work out what it was at first, it looks like a slithering, slimy, writhing pile of intestines. It was like something out of a horror movie. The most disgusting thing I've ever seen.

The man in the Slippers video is so funny, Reginaa!
Your sweet dcat was clearly trying to feed you up, NotanotherboxofFrogs. I think I’d have promptly thrown up though!

A tea towel

A string of raw sausages that got stuck in the cat flap. She was tugging on them & we never did discover which neighbour she stole them from...shameful.

A properly rotten dead pigeon, maggots and all. It was so utterly grim.

A live rat, screaming it's head of. She lost interest in about 2 seconds and sauntered off, leaving me with it. I chased it out with a broom but it took about 30 minutes and a lot of kitchen appliance moving. I was terrified!

Two rabbits left next to each other on the carpet. Very neatly arranged.

A seagull almost as big as him. I'm pretty sure it must have been already dead when he found it because they are big angry birds.

Love this thread! Mines brought in a tiny little lizard before, made a change from the mice I suppose.

Three nibbled bourbon biscuits, left on the lounge floor in the middle of the night last Christmas. No idea where he got them from!

A grape

Half a Fox cub. Head end. Would love to know what the eff happened there, she could barely drag the thing.

White cat never brings anything apart for from time when he brought home a ball of green wool that was slowly unravelling and very tangeled.

My cat brought in two large floured baps a couple of years ago. There's no way he could have carried both at once, they were the largest baps I've ever seen. I assume he stole one bap and then went back for the other.

Frogs, dragonflies, bees, leaves, worms but I think the strangest has to be the still warm spare rib dcat deposited at my feet once. Was expecting a very angry knock from the neighbours saying my cat had stole their dinner but thankfully noone did.
Mine also have a habit of stealing pairs of socks from the drawers and presenting them to us. Why they think socks are prey when quietly sitting in the drawers paired up is beyond me.

A live duckling.

One of my female cats brought a Ronald Mcdonald fabric toy in through the cat flap and my old ginger tom brought home a large goldfish and left it still alive on the path.

One of my friend's big bruiser of a cat dragged several chunks of turf home from outside a neighbour's house, even managed to drag them in through the cat flap.

Cats eh!

A stoat.

Which turned out was playing dead. When I took it away from my cat, it turned out to be very alive, and very angry.

A magpie, my cat is tiny so to get the magpie in the 1st place but then managed to get it into the house through the kitchen window, magpie was alive so I then had to remove a live magpie from my home

My cat brought a large magpie through the catflap. We were out, all windows and doors closed. We came home and found the magpie on top of one of the cabinets up near the ceiling staring at us. Merlin, the cat, had gone out again after dragging it in. There were bird droppings everywhere.
