I found what might be a thank you gift from the outdoor furbabies.

[Siwsan]

I have no other explanation for finding a piece of stale bread outside of the porch door.

[spooky3]

1. Sweeties! Nt

[wnylib]

2. But, of course. You give them kitty food and

they give you people food.

Or else it is a message to include people food in their feedings.

But I think that, since the kittens are a bit young to hunt down a mouse or mole to gift you with, they chose something that is easier for them to get.

[piddyprints]

3. Well, you do like bread, right?

And might have said, “Yum!” while doing it? Kittehs don’t miss a thing!


One of mine brought a huge rat home once. It was still alive and he played it to death in front of us. Now I KNOW he never saw us eat a rat! When we didn’t move to take it, he went ahead and ate it.

Yew suckz at huntingz."

5. Years back when I was still working...

my carpet cleaning biz, I had a client that had a cat that left her mice beside her side of the bed every night, dead of course. Pricilla was a good cat, loved everyone.
But I had to clean up the nasties left behind.

[niyad]

6. awwwwww, how thoughtful of them. You feed them, they feed you!

[CaptainTruth]

7. Awww, they're feeding you!

8. My cat goes outside every day,

for about an hour. He eats grass, climbs trees and hunts. When he is done, he sits by the back door and we let him in.

Toby the Cat feeds us. It might be a mouse, a chipmunk or a bird. There is almost always something.

[perfessor]

9. Our cat is about 16

His body weight is down by half, he’s toothless, slow, and spends most of his outdoor time lounging in the sun. But several times a week, there’s a dead chipmunk on the porch.

Once a predator…

[irisblue]

21. 🚫🚫🦷 but still feeds his humans.

Ya know we can find chipmunk recipes, in catepedia/s

[calimary]

10. When I was little, my cat brought home a dead mouse. My mother screamed and flipped out!

She didn't appreciate that it was a gift, and a proud conquest.

After that, my cat brought his gifts to our nextdoor neighbors. We never got another one from him.

[chowmama]

14. My mother's cat, Ton O'Buns, gifted her with a live one in her lap.

While she was on the telephone. The person on the other end would have called the cops, but there was no way to disconnect the call. She sounded like she was being murdered.

The mouse escaped to the top of the curtains and sat on the rod for a long time. Eventually, somebody knocked it into a tall container and took it outside. Ton O'Buns was very disappointed in all of us.

[bluedigger]

11. Make sure it doesn't have a steel file hidden inside it.

They could be trying to spring someone on the inside.

[TomSlick]

12. Any idea where the cat found the bread?

[Siwsan]

17. Absolutely no idea

I think I should probably prepare myself for more surprises.

[TomSlick]

20. Agreed.

Either the cat has been in someone's house or someone left the bread on the patio.

[usonian]

13. Because they ate all the tuna in a tuna sandwich

and left you the rest.

[2naSalit]

18. That's what I was wondering about...

Like they're saying, "We ate all the nasty fishy parts so we brought you this." Or maybe they want fish on that part too? Do they even know what fish is yet?

[usonian]

22. I hadn't thought of the reverse angle!!

Here's some dry bread. Now fill it up with some yummy tuna!!

And we'll leave you the bread to hold some more.

[Danmel]

15. One day we found half a squirrel on the porch

Tha back half. At first I thought it was a cat toy, then I saw the blood. Still traumatized years later.

[Alpeduez21]

16. Awwww, they love you that's so sweet n/t

[2naSalit]

19. Interesting.

I'm sure there's meaning in this. Looks like sourdough.
