When I lived with my parents we had a grey tortoiseshell coloured cat. She would regularily present my parnet with small garden birds and shrew's and moles etc then one day she managed to drag a dead sea gull through the cat flap. To this day we don't know how. I think perhaps the sea gull had been hit by a car and Tiptoes(the cat) thought it would make a nice present for the family.

Tiptoes also used to bring presents like half dead spiders. One morning we were all sat on my mother's bed watching my brother open his birthday presents when Tiptoes jump onto my mothers lap spat out a huge house spider proceeded to play with it then when she had enough decided that it was time to put it out of it's misery and crunched it up and swollowed it down. My mother was less than impressed.

My cat Merlyn doesnt go outside so doesnt have the chance to bring me any living or just dead presents but will regularily sit on anyone who maybe visiting their shoulders, head, lap, chest and purr and then fart!!!
