At least it had the decency to leave it whole! (The very first cat I ever had as a young child loved leaving "mouse bits" and dead snakes on the doorstep as offerings. Ick.)
I had a cat one time that stole a rabbit's foot out of my grandson's mama's purse. By the time we realized it, it was all slobbery and wet....... hahaha!!!At least it had the decency to leave it whole!

Believe it or not, I had a kitty at one time that would "rat" the others out, if they brought a lizard, bird, or other small critter up to the house. Spanky would come crying to me and I had to follow her to see what it was. If it wasn't dead, I'd find a spot to slip it over the fence out of the watchful eyes of the one who caught it. She did this every single time. I've never known a more compassionate kitty.Not a great surprise. It seems that fur products, no matter how ancient and processed to become such, still retain "that wild thing scent" for cats. I learned this for mink tails, which were very popular for making women's hats way back when, after one of my cats found one that had dropped off an old hat and was having an absolute ball with it!
A single thrift-store mink tail hat kept us in cat toys for many, many years afterward.
