I once had a cat who always brought her offerings in through the cat door alive and unharmed, carrying them like kittens in her mouth, then plopping at your feet. One time it was a big woodpecker. I had an interesting time getting it out of the kitchen and back outdoors.
On Thanksgiving, my niece came out and said there was hummingbird in the house. I tried to urge it out, but no dice. So I eventually had to take it in my hands and take it outside. Didn’t know that was possible.
I guess she thought you would like your meat, um, fresh.
We had a male Maine Coon who brought a live grouse into the house to play with.
My various past cats have also brought in live deermice, chipmunks and I think I recall a gosling.
Our favorite dog, a Japanese Akita, once dragged an entire male deer carcass through the woods, down a series of banks and as close to the house as we would allow, so he could feast in comfort. It took him three days and we watched the entire time from afar. Very focused dog. Hubby disposed of the carcass very early one morning.
