What has your cat brought you that was horrifying? They view this as a gift. I appreciate the thought but sometimes it is pretty rough to receive the offering.
One of my cats brought me a tomato worm this morning. The worm was as big as my pointing finger. Buurrrrr...

When I was a kid, our cat brought all sorts of stuff home. The strangest was a fish from a pond about a 1/4 of a mile from the house. Still alive at that!
Could always tell when he was bringing in a gift too. Would just race into the house and go under the kitchen table. Always an adventure when he did that.

Yes, I get little gifts. I get birds, moles, an occasional mouse, a squirrel once, and a baby rabbit that was still alive that I had to catch and put back outside. They have left bats on my porch also. Lovely, lovely, gifts, LOL. Then my cat Sugar started bringing us grasshoppers and turning them lose in the house for us to have to hear and chase around. Lovely, lovely, gifts!

My old cat Lefty brought home a dead rabbit and dropped it in front of my dad and said merf as he looked up at him. My dad promptly threw the gift rabbit out of the house with my cat following behind where he tried to bring this rabbit back into the house. We let him stay outside eating his gift that he brought us.
But we get garter and copperhead snakes, chipmucks, baby rabbits, moles and birds with our cats.
All we do is collect them and throw them either away if they are dead or take them to the woods and let go.

My cat rarely meows, except when he's caught something for me, then I hear him coming from two yards away.
One night he brought me a mouse without it's head! He's caught plenty of little lizards, and grasshoppers that are still jumping half the time!
He learnt not to bring me birds coz he always got in trouble!

Funny you should ask. My cat, his name is Killer. He has beheaded over 3,000 full grown desert rabbits, 3 chickens, countless lizards & anythingelse he can find. He has to be around me when Im restoring my classic cars or check out a new one. I donts know how but he gets them in the trunks. I opens a trunk & there is a 20lb headless rabbit w/ head a foot away. Slit so clean a surgeons razor could not match. I get these gifts more in the summer, he likes to take it ez in winter.

when I was younger, our cats brought us all kinds of stuff. Now that I've gotten older, both of my cats are complete indoor cats, because I want to make sure that they are safe, and I think in the back of my mind, it's the phobia I developed after I found a mouse on my pillow, when I was waking up.

Despite the fact that I have an indoor cat, I still get 'gifts'. Thankfully these are mostly his toys that he trails through the house and presents to me. I often wake up finding his favourite toy deposited somewhere around my fingertips.

yes one of may cats brought me a bat that was still alive so I had to use gloves and thankfully the poor thing wasn't hurt to bad so I let it go free. I have heard because cats think they are the masters to us they will do this to try to feed us. Its like saying here I bought you dinner hope you like it.

My old cat used to leave mice and birds on the porch and hood of my mom's car. He would stand with the 'present' until someone came out and saw them. Once he had a baby bunny to give us. Yuck!

My cat has caught a few birds... But he doesn't bite its heads off... He'd just throwing it up in the air & plays with it (until it is dead & lifeless)... Sometimes he also catches cockroaches & lizards... He never eats 'em... Yeah, he does bring his catches home to show it to me & yeah lucky me... LOL...
Actually, the reason why he brings it home is to show it to you on how he is doing, his performances of catching its prey... Just give him a pat & praise him & tell him that he is a good hunter... Cat is also like us... We also sometimes want to be praised for something we've done... It is their nature to hunt for small animals... So be proud of your cat... He is a good hunter! ;-)
