Killer-cat

Being that my house is an original post-and-beam, built just before 1800, with a stone foundation, we get our share of mice, and yes, occasionally we've had rats. To solve that problem I keep a few good cats and have strategic cat-doors so they can access all areas of cellar, the crawl space, the attic, etc., and now any creature that comes in doesn't last very long.
This has happened before.
Friday night, I'm sleeping about 1 a.m., I hear a loud squeaking/screaming. Rollo has caught a rabbit, and it's right by me. He's caught it, probably out in the field, which is covered with snow, dragged it home, then taken it thru the small cat-door in cellar window, then gone down to cellar floor, across the cellar, then 1/2 way up steps to 1st floor, then to the ramp I made to 2nd floor steps, then through a small cat door, approx 4-5 " square, then up all the steps, then dragging it all the way to right next to my bed.
Last time, I yelled at him and shut the bedroom door, then in the morning there was rabbit fur, guts, blood all over my house.
This time I put the rabbit (still alive) in a dust-pan, opened a window and flung it out.
When I got up at 5 a.m., Rollo was sleeping on the couch.
When I went outside at 7 a.m., this is what he was doing:
