For some months something, we assumed another cat, has been coming through the cat flap and eating any left-over foods from our cats' bowls during the night.
Anything else edible left out on the counter has also been eaten.
I have two elderly cats who don't seem at all upset about this.

This morning these two bits of brownish fur, complete with skin, were on the floor. Our cats are black.

We live in a rural area with few houses nearby.

Any ideas?
(I have asked Santa for a new posh cat flap with entry via electronic collers for Christmas) smile

I’ve had cats almost constantly for around 50 years and never had a cat flap exactly for the reason that I do not want unpleasant surprises. The cats come in and out as we let them - and it’s staying that way!

DollyRocker you've got it in one!
That's exactly what they look like!
Now I know who the cat belongs to - although it doesn't help me much as there's no way she can stop her cat visiting during the night.
That's made me feel much more relaxed.

Yes, cat toys, otherwise there would be blood on them.
Mystery solved 😁

Glad it's helped you! That's your gift for providing food😀.

Do the 'bits' have an odour?
