haha cats are brilliant arent they- toms are definately more hunters than girls as my molly has never brought anything home at all
my old tom cat brought us home a squirrel which was in a right state had to get hubby to dispose of that one and a bloody huge rabbit- looking at size of back legs it looked like a hare!? oh weve had frogs too, and we had a live mouse running round in our bath once that the cat must have brought in through the bathroom window and dropped in the bath tub!
i love the way they meow when theyve brought you something in- you hear a mew and you think "ay up whats s/he brought home now!?"

Pootle
When I lived with my best friend years ago we had two cats who really liked catching stuff, and bringing it home. We had a variety of things in varying stages of decay delivered through the cat flat, but probably the most memorable was Scroat the hamster (best friend named him, I should add).
It was about December time and the middle of the night. Our bathroom in that house was downstairs so every time you needed a wee you had to get up and traipse miles through the house. Anyway, there I am late at night when I am woken up by best friend yelling "Pootle, Pootle* wake up and come down here. I need you to look at something."
Quite irritated I got up and went downstairs to find best friend standing in the lobby between the kitchen and the bathroom, pointing at a small ginger ball of fluff cowering in the corner. It was only a live, completely unharmed hamster! Lord knows where they found it, and why they didn't kill it before bringing it home.
Took him to the vets the next day who checked him out and confirmed he was in very good condition, he also said if the hamster had been left outside all night he would have probably succumbed to the cold. We kept him for about 18 months/2 years before he died of a prolapsed rectum.

We've also had our fair share of mice, voles, birds, a packet of raw sausages, burgers, frogs, a hamster, etc etc

Pootle
We had a decaying blackbird once with maggots crawling out of it's chest cavity *screws up face* And I remember when I was living in Australia best friend phoned me to tell me one of the cats had just bought a live mouse home and dropped it on his face when he was fast asleep in bed *snigger*
The only good thing they ever bought us was the hamster!

My cats have brought me the usual array of dead or alive birds, plus leaves, a slug, a cooked kitchen leg (never did find out who that was nicked from), a toy sword and one of them once brought 9 dead rats into my bedroom in the space of a week :O

A dead bat and also a dead mole
Lots of mice, dead and alive, and lots and lots of mouse stomachs.
Various birds, including live pigeons, blackbirds and once a jackdaw.
Rabbits, usually neatly dissected with the stomach contents taken out and left on the mat, and often decapitated.

Lots of mice and regularly baby rabbits as we live in the country. Feel very sorry for the rabbits.
