Cat bringing dead animals and bugs inside the house
Indoor-outdoor cats frequently leave behind unwanted remnants of prey — such as heads, internal organs, or piles of spiders and stink bugs — on carpets or next to food plates overnight. This behavior results in messy cleanups for owners and leaves bugs getting stuck in hard-to-reach places around the bedroom.
