Cat thinks I can not hunt

Trouble in a cat suit

My six year black cat thinks she must hunt for me. She has a collection of about 10-12 assorted small stuffed animals, a fake racoon tail, and balled up gloves and socks.

She goes into my daughter's room and retrieves them from the stuffed animal basket in her closet, raids laundry hampers or and picks up what ever she comes across that fits the bill.

She has one pair of my daughter's soft gloves that she has been bringing to me repeatedly for several months. She never chews them, just carries them around from room to room, floor to floor. She will bring them to me as I watch TV or use computer.

They go from upstairs to downstairs in various combination's daily. She makes a chirpy sound as she approaches to let me know she is bringing me another gift. She also brings me bugs, birds and small animals (live or dead). Last summer she brought in three birds with in 1/2 an hour, I rescued the same chipmunk 3 separate times.

During the course of the summer there must have been at least 30 moths and grasshoppers. (I appreciate the sentiment..but YEOW!)
