Well I have had a couple of birds, two frogs, some plastic lids, neighbours scourers, a bit of washing line, someone else's Tea Towel, and a mouse within his little life.

I dont mind the lids or non living stuff, but frogs!!!!!!

Today he bought me.............................. an empty carrier bag and a fly!!!

Oh he's a hunter alright

He sounds like such a cutie! Alley used to bring me mice, rabbits and chipmunks
and she would always place them on the rug next to my bed. I learned very quickly to always look before I stepped out of bed!

Oh, I'm also extremely glad my babies are indoor cats! EWWW! I got grossed out just by hearing a story about a duck eating a fish. I'd imagine if Loki or Possum ever brought me any "presents" it'd be much like the Horse Head Scene in The Godfather!

I'd be more worried if Humphrey decided to start bringing home more personal items from the neighbors! Could you imagine trying to return a bra or something similar?

my cat tried to attack a pigeon once
but i shooed the birds away before she had a chance to get them
this happened again though and the pigeon wasn't so lucky
it wasn't a pretty sight, shes now a indoor cat but she does like to glare at the squirrels that race across the garden, when she sits at the window, the good thing about the hunting though is that my cat kills the spiders or any other bugs that dares enters my home lol so it's not all bad.

My aunt had a cat that would bring her "presents" from the houseguests such as their jewelry, underwear...if only we could have trained her to open bank vaults and crack locks

I had a cat once who emptied my neighbour's pond of goldfish (not without falling in once!). That was embarrassing. He also came home once dragging an enormous pork chop. I never dared ask around about that!

Same here - especially given Sonic's habit of dropping his offerings on my face while I'm in bed - thank goodness the worst it could be is a toy that he's dunked in his water bowl. Can't imagine having an eviscerated frog dropped on my face first thing in the morning

I'd pay good money to see a picture of a cat with a giant (stolen) pork chop hanging out of its mouth.

When we lived in the UK - Pepsi once caught 2 sea-gulls
a day after each other.
The 1st time I caught her she was dragging it through the cat-flap
and the 2nd one she was plucking it on her bed


All she gets here is bunnies and most of the time I can rescue them off her

At least she wasn't plucking it on YOUR bed


I've lived in an area that gulls were a huge nuisance and where protected by law. They would sit on your cars and peck at the windshield demanding food because tourist would feed them, or worse dive at/attack you if you were outside. Your Pepsi's hunting would have been cheered on by many of the locals there.
