Our male cat brought us a rodent once, and his sister, Boots, would go into neighbors' garages and bring us small toys or what she could find there. One time she brought us a big leaf and dropped it at our feet and looked up at us. That was her "catch." She seemed so proud.
They're both over the Rainbow Bridge now, but we have good memories.

I can't see why some folks think cats are "useless". I love it when there is a kitty sleeping next to me, purring. I've had insomnia for several years, and the purring helps me fall asleep.
Out of respect for the squeemish, I shouldn't mention how it was in Long Beach CA. Gophers, sewer rats, shovel. Every morning before the kids went to school...
