Well, AI or not.. I can vouch for cats bringing dead things into their owners beds.
Why I twigged on it, was that my dads cat, Gandalf the Gray, used to bring him dead mice and leave them by his head when he was sleeping - or if it happened during the day, she'd just leave birds on his pillow.
He would always thank her, give her scritches, then when she wasn't looking, flush the carcasses..
It was love.
