To begin with it was only 1 now it is about 3 or 4 huge fat 5 inch long worms which are "discovered" by bare feet in the morning on the kitchen floor. I know they she loves me and is trying to bring me presents but how do I tell my cat I don't want worms for breakfast.

Unfortunately, you can't. She's providing food for you.
I'd suggest not letting her out at night - there are more worms in the morning because of the dew (the early bird and all that...). If that doesn't work, and she still keeps bringing them in, buy some slippers. M&S have some nice ones at the moment. Or, pick them up if you're not too squeamish, and chuck back on the garden. Your grass will love you for it. xxx

u shud pour some orange juice all over you soil this is good for your plants and cats really hate the smell,
SO he will stay away from the soil which means he cant get any worms out of it
of course that's only if they are coming out of you garden
if not there's not really an awful lot u can do just every time he does it put him by the worm (make sure he sees it)and a little tap on the nose shud give him the message.
good luck

Sprinkle moth balls around the garden and the cat should steer clear. For some reason they hate the smell and will stay away from it. We used to have to put moth balls in the sandbox when I was little or the kitty would use it as a litter pan.

Give her a place to put them where you praise her, like outside the door.
She's trying to feed you and show you how to hunt. It's instinctive.
You've very lucky by the way, I once had a cat who brought in only mostly dead rodents trying to get me to hunt. I taught her to put them in a box outside by the door..... after about 2 years.
A friend has had her big hunter kitty add them to her BED.
In the end you may have to be the guardian of her ins and outs- lock the cat door- and have an empty mouth policy. "drop it" or no entrance.

Oh hun, Don't you just love the gifts your cat brings you each morning?
When you find out please let me know...My mother's cat brings her live birds every morning for gifts and then lets them fly around the bedroom...
Good luck on this one...lol

you will just have to scold her for doing that. Maybe get a squirt bottle so you can spray her every time she does this. If that doesnt work, you might just have to make her an inside cat for a while until she can get that idea out of her head. I would say for at least 2 months.
Happy Mardi Gras Day!!!
