Look what the cat dragged in!
From Promed today - Several years ago, there was a case of human tularemia in Wisconsin in the summer. The state epidemiologist's office determined that a cat had brought a tularemia-infected cottontail rabbit (_Sylvilagus
floridanus_) into the patient's home. With the widespread tularemia epizootic going on in Texas, it would seem that the risk of a similar situation, with pets bringing in dead or moribund rodents, is real, giving new meaning to the phrase "look what the cat dragged in!"

Cat's bringing in dead rodents and other animals in our house is also one of our problems.
I guess hunting is natural for cats that's why they do it.
