One method that I have seen that is effective is to put a bell around your cat's neck...this more or less decreases your cat's ability to "stalk" prey...they will still hunt, because it is instinct, but their success will be limited with a big loud bell around his/her neck...
I hear that cats really don't like those bells. It would work but would probably drive the cat nuts.

I'm lucky, I guess, because I see my cat catch all sorts of things out in the yard but she doesn't leave them for us. I think she likes us...

My cat wasn't allowed out for the first year of her life due to where we lived, so maybe Austin is on to something. Perhaps she feels like we don't want to be involved in what she does out there because of that. I don't know.
