The boys are showering me with gifts...

The cats have been camping out by the kitchen door that leads to the backyard since they were old enough to do so. That door does not have a window so I can not look outside to see who is there. To complicate things it opens from the inside out.  I was always afraid to accidentally hit one of them.

I  considered that the main reason I disliked using that door was that Paquito always managed to rush in and then want to remain in the house by hiding from me.

Now that the boys have honed in their hunting skills they started to bring me "gifts".  The worst one was the snake a couple of months ago.  I, therefore, decided not to go out that door anymore.

These cats are so smart they have noticed I either use the side door or the main door and they wait for me to go outside. They noticed I use the front door more and it has now become the main place to bring me said "presents". Yesterday it was a crow and this morning a rat.

I got up early to open the gate and there it was before me and Paquito just beaming with pride.  I had put up all my garden tools away and did not want to pull out my shovel so covered the rat with powder soap. A bunch of ants that were not visible emerged and took off.

This afternoon Paquito started playing with the carcass and exposing it again.  What am I going to do with these cats?
