1239499 2011-10-23 22:43:00 Over the last few months, my 10 month old Jimicat has been bringing me presents.
The list includes: three pegs (not mine), a metre long piece of nylon rope, dozens of dead leaves, various twigs and sticks, four pieces of black stretch material offcuts, five sparrows, moths which he shows me, then promptly eats.
The latest and best of all is a womans black sock. All these things he tries to hide behind the sofa, except the pieces of material, which he put in his "toybox".

Has anyone got other stories to tell about thier cats?

We have a very talkative pussycat - female don't you know, but then that may not be all that unusual. Wish we knew what she was talking about.

1239501 2011-10-24 00:13:00 I have a male Mandalay who proudly announces (well screams actually) every gift he brings home in through the cat flap.

Anything from children's toys, neighbour's cats toys, live nursery spiders (those horrible big black mouse sized things), live lizards, large leaves, odd socks, you name it - he brings it home :)

Oh yes, I know he loves me and I do give him lots of treats! It is funny though when he brings stuff home!

1239505 2011-10-24 02:10:00 Show him $20 notes. You might be able to make a good profit on the deal or at least pay for his treats :) CliveM (6007)
1239506 2011-10-24 02:38:00 One of mine: 1 uneaten hotdog on a stick - warm with sauce, 1 slice of pizza, 1 warm cooked pork chop, 2 bathroom flannels (especially loved by cat), 2 pairs of freshly washed and folded kiddies socks, 1 Tux dog biscuit with a corner bite missing, 1 large banana leaf, 1 ball of wool, 1 full box of matches, couldn't get her to fetch money though.........

Other: well, you know about the rat - she doesn't bring them inside anymore.

1239507 2011-10-24 03:03:00 Then, of course, you've got the urban legend of a cat, Tibbles, bringing dead birds to his master's light house, and single handedly (or pawdly) wiping out an entire species - a flightless, perching bird dubbed The Stephens Island Wren (bquot.com) tuiruru (12277)
1239508 2011-10-24 03:12:00 wow your cats sound awesome, at least they do something. We did have a cat years ago that brought home the neighbours goldfish and that was pretty exciting untill we had to buy a new one for them. The cats name was "sinead" and had the nick name "heinous hogg" Gobe1 (6290)
