Were they presented to you as gifts?

No, fortunately he left them outside.

When I lived in Pasadena with two (sometimes three)indoor/outdoor cats,
they were always catching those little California fruit rats and
bringing them home. They didn't exactly present them as "gifts", but
once they let them loose in the house, they seemed to assume they
BELONGED there, and lost interest in recapturing them.

It's no mean feat for a cat to kill a rat. Well done, Baggy.

Boyfie sends his congratulations too!

And he also says, a bit under his breath, "Better you than me."

May the great galactic kitten always purr you to sleep.

What's gotten into him all of a sudden?

Boyfie only catches the small ones. The big ones have teeth like chisels
and fight like demons if they are caught, they are even a challenge to the
terriers sometimes.
If Baggy caught 2 big healthy rats Boyfie would be well impressed.
I praise Boyfie if he brings me a small dead rat. It does stop it growing
up. He is sensible about big rats, he sees them and pretends he doesn't.
He washes himself as they saunter past. I don't want him to tackle those
big boys, I've seen them almost take the face off the terriers. Terriers
bred to hunt don't seem to care how much they are hurt ratting. Here, one
of the terriers nearly got her nose bitten off by a very big rat when we
had a rat hunt. She absolutely did not care how injured she got and got
him. The terrier men said no she doesn't need antiseptic on her nose. I
said she did. I said you will never come here again to hunt rats unless
you let me do it. So they did.

I love the terrier men and the terriers they breed will kill absolutely
anything. They are very hard dogs and don't seem to feel much pain when they
are killing.

So I dabbed the dog's nose with antiseptic and took their smirks.

It has been very cold for a few days here, I think that may have slowed the
rats down.

They weren't as big as one Shadow killed a few years ago, I think he being
feral made him a better hunter. He didn't bother hunting after he moved in.
