What 'present' has your cat brought you? (light hearted)

[Startingagainandagain]

My cat just came into the kitchen while I was having my lunch chirping proudly and proceeded to spit out a huge live fly in front of me....

Of course I congratulated her on her hunting skills and then promptly got rid of the fly in the garden...

What lovely gifts have you received from your cats?

One Christmas mine brought me a bourbon biscuit every night for 3 nights. I kept finding them on the living room floor. I didn't have any biscuits in the house, so presumably someone somewhere was getting into trouble for eating all the Christmas biscuits

Ugggghhh mine did that! He won’t use the cat flap so I have to let him in and out like a slave, but he usually needs to be coaxed in with treats or he’ll just fanny about on the doorstep deciding if he actually wants to come in or not. I knew something was amiss when he shot through the door and up the stairs, grumbling and growling. Chased him upstairs to find him dismembering a bird in the litter tray 🤮 he was very unhappy to give it up and hissed and swiped at me when I tried to take it off him. Reasonably easy clean-up, though!

I raise you the live mouse that DCat dropped onto my duvet one morning at 2am. It sensibly dived under the duvet to hide, which allowed me to easily catch it in a jug.

More recently, he has brought dead rats.

The cat has moved from just bringing in flies to live butterflies, birds and more flies...

I do not have a cat!! Neighbours cats so far have left on my front step, at different times over the years ,a bird. a mouse and a rat. all dead

Mine brought us some spare ribs yesterday - shortly followed by a few bits of pigeon 🙈

First present was a catapillar when he was a kitten. Now progressed to pigeons and magpies

I got the same thing! A very vocal cat bringing me a mouse in a mousetrap from the kitchen. Acting proud like she chased it or something

As a kid, my tiny black cat who had crossed eyes and only two fangs with a criss-cross jaw due to an argument with a car, brought me a slow worm and a very cross pigeon which had its wings spread out to try and stop her getting in through the back door.

My second cat, baby socks, baby t-shirts and a bright green salwar kameez from the family next door.

Idiot cat occasionally brings in mice, generally already rather dead and squished, but I'm still not convinced from the last time he came in making that noise that he didn't bring a live one - and his first trophy was a very live and very cross Hamster that we ended up keeping.

Then old Madame Fluffyknickers on my lap would go after insects. She was in awe of my ability to catch Hawkmoths (and very cross when I'd let them go again), but her proudest moment was when she came running into the living room making muffled squeaking noises and some very long, black, hairy legs sticking out from between her teeth to clash terribly with her long, white whiskers. And then spat Ungoliant out onto DD's foot. Ungoliant wasn't happy, DD even less so.

Mine like to bring in worms especially after it rains and they are abundant . They dump them on the hall carpet . Dead./Alive/.Wriggling/.Half a Worm/.Crispy Worm.

Male Cat brings in butterflies ,sometimes alive and releasable , sometimes he eats them and vomits them back up. Nice!

Slugs, leaves, all the rodents, odd bird, clumps of mud, a duckling garden ornament, some fish (they floated to top in a stream due to some algae issue), neighbour's young kitten, and the odd spider

Large vets bills!

Not me, but my friends Tom brought home a pheasant. He’s a big cat but still!

neighbour's young kitten

Though my DD dreams of one of our cats dragging a feral kitten into the house and they will rehabilitate it . They wouldn't . They female would eat it !

his first trophy was a very live and very cross Hamster that we ended up keeping.

That's hilarious.
