The hunter has just entered the secure world of its benefactor, leaving the object of its predation, out in the cold. The small bird is dis-embowelled, after a violent attack. Perhaps the catch was left mid-evisceration, due to on insistent / tempting call for dinner. The cat door evokes a guillotine or torture device, which would not be a foreign concept to a lively cat, post successful seizure of its prey. The distance from quarry to cat-door suggests the caring / awareness distance of the indoor human from the tragedy outside.
