"Human. The Spring has brought forth an abundance of the delicious vermine. I have left a gift on your doorstep to show my affection for you and my utter disgust for your hunting skills. Enjoy the shrew."
Our alpha calico female has been out enjoying the sun and she (or one of her minions) has left the first of many dead rodents on our front stoop.
As a writer the story possibilities for this behavior is endless. Does the cat care about its human family? Is this a sign of affection? Is it a safe place to store their kills? Is it a bribe to get into the house? Given the affection Calicoy showers on her people I do like to think it is some sort of provider instinct.
