my cat keeps bringing home dead animals

I live in the country and my cat is left to roam free amoungst the
fields, although i think this is great for the cat it is not so great
for the animals around it. It brings home, dead birds, rabbits, moles
and mice. I know it is only doing what it believes is right, but it
is very upsetting to find these dead animals on my doorstep.

Actually, it's quite an honour to receive these little presents as it means
the cat is trying to share it's food with you but, if you don't like it, I
don't think there's anything you can do about it to be honest. Our cats
used to bring half dead animals into the house and then proceed to torture
them to death. Nature's cruel and that's just the way cats are. Short of
keeping the cat in all the time, there's no way to take the hunting instinct
out of the cat as far as I know.

You're lucky to have the pest control. Our neighborhood used to have
3 outdoor cats but they've all left and now I'm having terrible
problems with indoor mice.

(g).. Do you not have your own cat/cats to take care of them?

I have indoor cats. We live 10 yards from a highway, so I'm not
willing to let my cats outdoors.
