One of my cats very proudly left a dead pigeon in a very dark spot, in my direct path, where I nearly stepped on it. Squish squish.

I promptly buried the poor bird and not only upset the cat by being ungrateful and unimpressed with his prowess, but also took away his anticipated meal.

So, a couple of days later, same spot in the dark, there's the head only of a dead bird. Obviously the loss of a good meal made him creative in his offerings. And he must have realised that my food cravings didn't extend to dead pigeon so it would be okay if he ate that part and just left the "trophy".
