Our cats bring in rats and birds into the house as "presents" via the catdoor. My wife and I are debating creative solutions to prevent the cats from getting into the house if they are carrying something. How do other folks deal with the problem? (Before Karen makes me manufacture the multi-million dollar full-body scanner catdoor she described)

If you block the cat door they just line the back step with the umm evidence prolly better than on kitchen floor ;)

Our catdoor only goes into the garage so the gifts are deposited there; then we let the cats into the house...or not.

I removed the cat door. Now the cats only go in or out of our sliding glass doors, where I can see what they have. I don't let them in when they have a “present”, so almost all the presents get eaten (bones and all).

Have you tried adding something to the cats to make them less effective predators? Bells? Blinking lights? :)

Hey, the cats are just trying to do their part to support the household. Just because YOU are ungrateful doesn't mean the CATS have a problem. :-) I don't have a cat door... I just have to go to the front or back door when the cat is meowing loudly and continually, so that I can praise her and thank you for bringing us dinner until she is satisfied. Then I can scoop up said "dinner" and dispose of it appropriately.

hey, very funny. and i used too have the same problem but then i got a bird and so my cat stayed focused on trying to get that bird. only problem for the cat is that the bird is in a cage, therefore the cat goes out quickly and comes back in when shes done, and consentrates on how she could get this one bird; but she never will ;) good luck!!!
