I realize that felines seem to think they are giving you a gift by leaving a disemboweled rodent at the door.
But the past three weeks has gotten ridiculous.
We find parts of a dead rat (vole) or rabbit on the deck nearly daily. A few days ago, I tried to run interference and keep her from taking the latest kill up the steps to the deck. She kept making a beeline to the steps until I made a sudden move toward her. That just diverted her a bit and, in a couple of seconds, she was headed straight to the steps again.
Last night we didn't have the outdoor lights on and we tracked remains of two "victims" through the sunroom until the Boss Lady almost slipped and fell.
Today, I have picked up the worldly remains of no less than six voles and one rabbit and tossed them into the field.
The cat is currently trolling the edge of the field for the next "gift for Daddy".
Is there any way to get a cat to stop with the gory little presents?
