It's that time of year again, now for the deluge of small mammals and not so small birds.
Operating a catch and release programme in this house!

My neighbors cat dropped off a mouse yesterday. A mouse burial was not something I had planned for the day, but what're you gonna do.

I get two different forms. Live that he releases into the house or just organs (liver and heart). I’ve stepped on the organs before.

Oh yeah, there are lots that don't make it... didn't feel like taking a photo of any of those ones

I happened to be outside, so I witnessed the death blow as well. Then the killer just left it there for me to deal with. Goddamn psychopath.

I'm not sure if they are gifts or threats

I’m not a tree hugger by any means, but you shouldn’t let your cat outside unsupervised, they wreck native wildlife
TheOnlyPanda
How so?

They’ve directly caused the extinction of several avian and mammal species in just the US. I’ll post some sources
TheOnlyPanda
I take your point though, I didn't realise this

Any Europe related? I'm in Scotland and we have wildcats that roam all over, not much difference between them and domestic cats

will take a look at what I can find! And thank you for being reasonable. People get very defensive when I point it out. I’m a cat owner too!
