it actually jumped out of my hand before I could do anything at all.

Our neighborhood kitty used to leave presents like these on our doorstep. Apparently despite visiting multiple houses for food, we were the only ones he gave them to, for whatever that means. We hadn't gotten any in the last year though, but he was already an old man of a kitty. Tonight was the first night coming home from work and knowing he wasn't going to be there and I already miss him.

I was gonna take the mouse to the cabin next to me, cause antoine was trying to eat him yeah, so i was carrying him out and antoine was clawing at my legs you know so i was tyring to be careful, so i opened the door and i was gonna take him to the cabin next to me but the motherfucker jumped out of my hand and landed on the ground. He's okay yeah, unless he got eaten by a hawk.
There is a cat in our building and sometimes she comes to our floor (we gave her food 2 years ago, but then neighbors got angry and...). She caught a poor pigeon one time and carried it for 6 floors for us, maybe as a gift! lol
Some pics (without that pigeon):

Huh, thanks for this. When I was a kid, a cat used to visit us in the building and we'd give it a bowl of milk. One day, it brought us a killed rat as a gift, and I always thought that can't be right, I must be misremembering it. But it turns out that is a thing cats do?
mine caught a baby mouse earlier this year. My cat kept toying with it spitting it out, it would squeak (I had never heard a mouse squeak before), then the cat would grab it its mouth again. Took a while before I could get the mouse out of the cat's mouth.
My cat also chases geckos, which we have a lot of around here in warmer months. he will stare at the walls for hours at night waiting for one to crawl out from behind a i picture on the wall.

My 15 yr old indoor cat (!) who sleeps 23 hours a day caught an indoor mouse last year. It was weird seeing those cat hunter instincts kicking in.
Yeah I think it's kind of a gift and can't think about it another way for a cat who carries something like that for 6 floors.
Or maybe she wanted to say "Hey human! I don't want your awful food and please give me something delicious like this pigeon next time!" lol
My cats have only brought me heads, mostly bird heads but also a rabbit's head once.
That doesn't seem like a gift of food.
If I recall correctly, it IS a gesture of familial love
but with the connotation of "you're clearly such a dumbfuck I never see you hunt anything. Here's some food so you don't starve"
As opposed to when my old dog would kill birds or rats. She did it for sport

That's a quality cat and he did his job well. Glad the mouse survived, but get ready to find it again in a couple days...
Had to do the same a handful of times with my cat... sometimes birds other times mice. Makes me think of the ones i couldn't save, poor things.
Dis cat ate like 12 other mice you didn't see and was just showing you one as a trophy
