Dear Auntie Agness,
I bought the kids a lovely kitten, and she's now three months old. She came from a stable household, and she's the most perfect little thing. Problem being she has always been very playful, and has (in my view) an over-developed 'hunter instinct'.
From a very early age, she excelled in catching insects, spiders, and stalked us around the house.
This morning, she left a little 'gift' in the hallway: A half-eaten bird!
feathers gallore....Considering she's only three months old, is this normal? Being a 'British' cat, I would have expected her to be more docile than a leopard. See, I dont want her to offer us more substantial prey, like kids for example 
How can I train her not to catch birds, or otherwise prevent it?
