Neighbours Cat

I’ve been looking after my neighbours cat giving it some attention and giving it bits of food daily, lately it has been sleeping on my doorstep, when I open the main door the cat is there, making noises im not sure what the cat wants, my only guess it wants food or be patted.

At the moment it is sitting on said front step and scratching at the door, i think it wants to be let in to sleep here, but as i have a bird it is not going to happen.

Anyhow I got home today and the cat had left me a little present, it had killed a mouse and left it on the doorstep.
I know that means something but im not sure what………….
