Mine are/were indoor cats, so with the exception of the odd mouse that got in the house, can't really answer. But if I can count my childhood ginger boy...mice!! Many, many mice! Sometimes there would be as many as four lined up on the porch steps in the morning...he was a marvellous hunter, but never brought home a bird.
Cassie's favourite thing to bring into the house is a goldfish from my neighbour's pond :oops: She has brought 3 in so far this year.......she doesn't eat them she just plays with them as long as they move. You wouldn't believe the amount of fish scales I have to clear up off the carpet after!:roll:
She has ocassionally brought the odd field mouse in....but never a bird..
Balie one caught a bird mid-flight in the garden but nothing for about 9 years now. They're mainly indoor cats so the worst I get is spiders!!!
Being terrified of birds I don't think I could deal with a flapping demon in the house :shock:

Kuta got a HUGE moth last night!!!!! :)
Mine are indoors too, so not much else apart from that.
Chancer is the only one who brings me presents, usually 4 or 5 mice lined up on the door step....
Oliver used to pinch soft toys from next door before we moved....

Funny you should ask
Following the heavy rain, the sun is now shining and Chester has been out and collected a big worm and brought it in on the living room floor :shock: Trouble is he's such a flippin' wuss he's decided it now looks a bit fierce and wriggly, so I've had to repatriate it to the garden! :roll: Cats!! Who'd have 'em? :)
Last year it was frogs, this year mainly mice and just for variety, a very indignant starling (survived!) and a very ugly, bald, tiny baby pigeon(did not survive!!)

I'm afraid my naughty Des had a wood pigeon yesterday, didn't bring it in the house, just left a big pile of feathers on the lawn :? Usually it's mice and shrews.
The very worst thing he brought home was a neighbours pet rabbit :shock:

Sadly yes DM, only just :(
I didn't know where it had come from, but 2 days later posters went up around the estate about a missing rabbit :oops:
Had to go and tell her - I know what it's like not knowing if your beloved pet is dead or alive.....:oops:

How awful.
But you're right. You had to be brave and tell her.

Garfeild brought home anything possible around Tennessee.
He brought home a 2 baby rabbits the past week (Sad, cause I'm a rodent lover) I don't know how many birds, a lizard (which is now our pet ^^;;). The cutest thing ever was on Mother's day, he found a baby duck and brought it to our house. No teeth-marks or ANYTHING, just a cute little brown duck that we named Fredrick ^^ He lives at my Grandma's cause she raises Ducks ^^
We try to congratulate him for bringing in stuff, since it is his hobby and stuff, but he hasn't done it lately so I guess he's getting to old for it lol
