Is there a way to stop cats from bringing you dead animal presents?

I ahve a female calico.She is so annoying!She ALWAYS brings dead aniomals on the porch.It's so revolting.Is there a way to stop her? YES or NO?

I was never able to figure that out...my beloved kitty always left me things. I miss her terribly, but I know she loved me...otherwise she wouldn't have done it!

No, not really. These are gifts, given in love (as far as the cat is concerned lol) That would be like asking a dog to stop sniffing in places we don't really like! It's the nature of the beast.

Cats are predators and will do this. The only way to stop her is quit letting her go outside. Good luck.

Put a bell around her neck. Don't let her outside anymore. Feed her soft cat food in addition to the dry cat food.

Make her a indoor cat, she is only trying to be nice to you and bring you presents, If you care for her saftey she needs to be a indoor spayed female cat anyway.

Don't let her outside. It's actually her gift to you.

No, it is their nature. But try not to overfeed them and maybe they will eat their treats instead of bringing them home.

Dead? I'd say you are lucky - my cat brings in live animals. We have had approximately 30 field mice, one baby rabbit, one snake, several locusts. All were alive. I guess she just wanted to play! and the season has just begun!!!!! never a dull moment.

No you can't stop her unless you keep her inside always. The cat is bringing this to you as a gift. They want to take care of the ones they love so they catch them food and bring it to them.Never scold a cat for doing this!Your cat loves you is why she is doing this. If she licks you, then that is the ultimate sign of love.

Be kind and courteous to kitty.They really really mean to present that thing to you as a gift. they are being nice to you.be nice back.get a paper towel and pick it up and then praise the kitty for the generous gift.I love cats.got pics of my friends polydactyl cat and some local ferel cats on my bloghttp://www.antmanbee.blogspot.com

I'm sure there is a way to stop her, but consider it a sign of love. She loves you enough to catch something and give it up to you instead of eating it herself. This is a very selfless act.

Make her an indoors only cat, she will live longer too. No more communicable stray or feral cat diseases to worry over, no worries about her being hit by a car, and no more unsavory presents.

NO! You shouldnt even try. She is just doing her part to feed the pride. You should tell her how good a cat she is and then throw the dead animal in the trash can.

Sorry there's not much you can do about that. She's providing for the family it's what animals do.

She's a good girl (and apparently a good hunter, too). So give her lots of praise and maybe even a kitty treat. :)Good job kitty kitty!

No. There is no way to stop her except to keep her in the house.Hunting is natural to the cat. It's part of what makes a cat a cat. She is proud of her special skill and wants to share her prize with you because you are an important part of her life. She also hopes for praise for what a good provider she is.Acting disgusted will hurt her feeling and make her feel that she didn't do a good enough job to please you. It will NOT discourage her from hunting.Tell her what a good hunter she is and thank you so much! Then, dispose of the gift discretely.
