I have a three month old male SBT brown spotted Bengal kitten. He doesnt go outside, but occasionally I keep my patio door open, with my screen closed. We do have a good amount of cats in our neighborhood.

cats will leave their kills as a token of their affection. I had a cat that could regularly kill up to 7 mice a night, and they would always be stacked on the porch, just outside the front door. But, I have never heard of a neighbors cat leaving such tokens. Are you sure the little bird didn't just fly into the patio door? They do that sometimes. I guess you will just have to wait and see if it happens again. Be sure to dispose of the dead bird properly and wash, wash, wash afterwards. You never know what they may have.

I think it probably could be. We had the same thing happen a few months ago. Our cat does go out and he had been hanging around with a neighbor's cat when we suddenly started seeing dead mice, moles and birds on our from walk. We assumed it was exactly as you say, an offering from that cat.

Chances are that it isn't an "offering". Chances are that this is where the bird died.
If your cat killed the bird, then it would be possible for your cat to give what's left over to you. I had a cat which did the same with a mouse.

It's possible, or the bird could have just smacked into the window. Just to be on the safe side, you might want to have it tested for West Nile Virus if that affects the area you live in.

he's doing it both as a organic instinct, and showing an illustration of happiness or bringing you a present. To a cat, giving their proprietor a lifeless animal (climate a fowl, mouse, etc, etc) is like giving them the desirable present ever. Your cat is now showing you options chuffed you've made him. (@clockwork_knight, cats and dogs are domesticated. i imagine the asker is smart sufficient to carry close you're trolling.)

It could be. My cat used to bring live mice into the house for the kittens to hunt.

Yes my cat was King of the Cul-de-sac and he left gifts to the neighbors that he liked! Or they might just be asking for a date with your cat ehee

It could be. To be on the safe side I would call animal control and give them the bird to examine to see if it had west nile disease. Good question.
