Until we move to Scotland and had a B&B we always had cats and always found a bit of innards on the carpet, usually when you have no shoes on  >:(  I do look forward to having a cat again as I love them, they are so superior

My cats (when I had some) used to leave the gall bladder of mice and the ears and tail of rabbits. My sister-in-law, on a search for paracetamol for her hangover, got a gall bladder between her toes. She is terrified of mice and had a screaming fit when I told her what it was. forgot all about her headache.  :roflanim:

My cat is so lovely she leaves the unwanted bits on the front doorstep so we've always got our shoes on before we step on them  ;D :cat:

Well trained cat. Ours were shut in the utility room at night, where their beds were, but they all went out all night. There was invariably a line of body parts just outside the door into the kitchen in the mornings. We learned to make sure we had something on our feet before going out there. My SIL soon learned.  :roflanim:

Mine hide them in the most inaccessible places. We can smell it somewhere but sometimes just can't track it down. Then it's just awful when you finally come across it whilst cleaning weeks later. I just found what little was left of a rabbit behind the table in the study while brushing the floor in there this evening (a rarity),

Our little kitten Gizmo surrounds the house with dead voles!  ???


He has killed a couple of mice, but at only 10 months old (and being quite small) they look huge when he carries them around!  :roflanim:

I often found something dead on the back door step with a plant on the top for garnish, that always amused me, not had a cat since we have owned the B&B as they tend to go  in peoples rooms or wee in places
