Presents From My Cats

I recently found two dead mice in the house and it made me think about all the presents that my cats, past and present, have brought me over the years.

While many of their offerings have been dead, quite a few have been live and kicking or flapping. I’ve had many hours of amusement? chasing mice around the house, some of them can really move; or trying to coax a bird to fly towards the open window.

There have been frogs, earthworms, whole intact eggs, various feather and leaves and on one occasion what seemed to be a kipper skin.

I wonder what is the strangest thing that was ever brought home by a cat.
