I had a cat that was the neighbor’s cat, but most of this time at our house and then they moved they offered the cat to us. It was an indoor/outdoor cat outside during the day and nice weather inside in the winter and at night’s in the summer for the most part.
It would leave a dead mice by the front door, but only dead mice. They caught a rabbit, it was like a rabbit foot by the front door to let us know it caught a rabbit, but have the rest as a snack. Another one once brought me a mouse, while I was sleeping and dropped it on me. That was a nice wake up.
Our next door neighbor had such a cat inclined to gifting him with dead mice, rats, and squirrels. When our neighbor died, the cat became a stray for a year and a half before we were able to coax it indoors. Formerly near feral, he is an almost entirely indoor cat these days. At the moment he is sleeping contentedly on my bed.
