....just gross.
Everyday they're leaving me presents on the front and back porch in the form of tails, partial heads and guts. UGH! And then they want to cuddle. Simon, my beige, is always trying to dink my nose with his nose. Get your mouse mouth away from me.
We live on acreage so they're feasting on the voles. I really wish they'd turn vegetarian.

It must be bunny season. I keep finding little ones with their feet nibbled off.

I just look at it that every tail I find on my porch is a mouse that isn't in my house. I prefer the tails and entrails to the live mouse in the house.  The voles on the other hand, I wouldn't mind if they left them alone as they stay out of the house, but apparently its all or nothing with these cats. |

Awww! Dantes they are bringing you presents in their eyes!
Just make sure they are dead. Many years ago my cat would bring in live ones and we would spend the night chasing it. Kind of backward. I think my then cat Fatty would just sit and laugh at us.

When I was a teen, my dog Bandit (just a mutt) would constantly bring his gifts (snakes, mice, birds, etc.) to my mother who would proceed to FREAK OUT and get one of us kids to de-gift the area!

Everything is definitely dead. This carnage could pass for some medieval warnings to those who want to enter our home.
I love my bad boys, but now they're leaving this stuff on both porches.

Dogs are gross! Just gross! Not too long ago, my sweet 5 year old dog tried three times to bring "friends" into the house. Attempt 1. A dead bird she found under the picture window. The bird must have broken it's neck. This attempt was thwarted. Attempt 2. A live baby bunny. I really think she just wanted to play with it. This attempt was thwarted and the slightly wet baby bunny eventually hopped away. Attempt 3. A dead mouse. A dead mouse that had been dead for a while. This "friend" went undetected upon entry into the house. She plopped into her bed and gently placed it on the bed in front of her. I said out loud to my husband, "what is that on Sam's bed? OH GOD! OH MY GOD! IT'S A DEAD MOUSE AND THERE ARE MAGGOTS!!!!" I LOVE my dog, but she is gross. There never were kisses allowed, I mean, they lick themselves EVERYWHERE, but holy heck, there will definitely never be kisses allowed after attempt 1 and attempt 3 is just overkill, come on! |

So glad my cat is an indoor only cat.  No gross presents. He did bring a dead bug up on the bed one time. I told him I loved him but if he ever did that again I would sling him against the wall so hard he'd stick. (I really wouldn't but he doesn't need to know that.) Must have worked - he's never brought another bug up on the bed. |

The mouse with maggots is gross. Nice accommodations would have been created in the shop if that happened here. My Flyer doesn't do too nasty of things. Now my labrador, Nomad, ( he's gone) thoroughly enjoyed everything down there. He sounded like a loud coffee percolator when he was going at it. |

My dog Paolo proudly brought in a bunny the other day. He had already used it as a chew toy. Both he and Pearl spend hours each day hunting lizards.
In my house I'm usually take on all the cleaning and yard work however cleaning up critters is where I absolutely draw the line. Most of the time I'm crying before I can even tell DH to handle it.

The mouse with maggots is gross.
That is an understatement. I don't think there is a thing my cats could bring to the porch that could ever be as hideous as that was! |

And you should have seen Sam (my dog) after we removed it. We had quickly removed her from the room, my husband removed the "mouse" and through it in the field next to our house. I did a quick vacuum with a dusbuster and my husband took that outside to empty. We then removed the cover from her bed and replaced it with a clean one.
She went nuts looking for her special "friend" or "toy". It took forever to get her calmed down for the night!
