So my fluffy little troublemaker has started bringing me all sorts of things from outside - like leaves, bits of string, and even a few tiny bugs. At first, I thought it was kind of sweet, like she was trying to share her adventures with me. But yesterday, she proudly dropped a small, squirmy frog on my doorstep, and I wasn’t sure whether to laugh or freak out!

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just a cat thing, or should I keep a closer eye on what she’s dragging inside? I love that she’s so curious and adventurous, but I’m not sure if the 'gifts' are really gifts or just a sign she’s hunting too much. Would love to hear your stories or tips on how to handle this without hurting her little hunter spirit!

Oh, @mopsy, your fluffy explorer sounds like quite the character! My cat used to bring me “presents” too - mostly random leaves and the occasional unlucky bug, but never a frog. It’s definitely their way of showing affection or maybe trying to teach us their hunting skills. I always found it endearing, even if a bit gross at times.

If you’re worried about what she’s dragging in, maybe try giving her some interactive toys that mimic hunting, like feather wands or laser pointers, to keep her entertained indoors. That way, she can channel her adventurous spirit without surprising you with live critters on the doorstep! But honestly, those little gifts are part of what makes having a cat so delightfully unpredictable.
