The cats eat the mice that are in the brush along the creek that runs behind our house.
Mine does that, and presents them to me just outside the door. Thank you dear, another vermin that isn't crawling up the power cord into our house.
OP, my cat has changed my camping style to the point that I'd be looking for another campsite with sufficient cover and you drive to attend what you need to. However, a family reunion may be not the right event to do that. You may be accused of being a slave to your cat.
I really enjoy (and so does she) going for walks among the bushes where she can hide and stalk me.
