do it.
"Dude, I noticed you really can not hunt. See, here. It’s only a little bit alive. It only runs a little bit, so you can practice. "
Just get better at hunting. You go out for hours at a time and never come back successful.
It’s a good thing that the pantry always has food, otherwise we’d be in trouble.
Someone told me that cats do it because they consider you equal to a kitten who doesn’t know how to hunt.
Yeah it’s less “here, master, accept my humble offering” and more “hey dumbass, take this so you don’t starve to death”
This theory doesn’t stand up to even mild scrutiny, and I question whether the people that repeat it have ever shared space with a cat.
The little furgoblins think the person they constantly beg for food can’t feed their own self?
Fuck outta here.
Not exactly. It’s usually done by female cats. It’s normal for them to do this when they have kittens. What happens when they are sterile? Well, the behaviour continues without any kittens to bring it to. Bringing it home is just what happens.
Cat: this is a nice place and I like you. I want to make sure you’re eating.
Here, take this
Whose a good little guy? Whose a good little guy? You did such a good job! I’m so proud of you! Yes! You’re an apex predator! You get so many chin scratches!
My cat is a fetch cat. He loves to fetch.
Every time he does a pounce on one of his toys and rabbit kicks it, or stalks it across the living room, I praise him for all his murder skills. I also will tell him that’s why he’s not allowed outside, he’s simply too fierce and terrifying and all the animals would die.
He seems to enjoy the praise because if I don’t say anything he’ll keep playing, but when I praise him he runs back to me with his toy and a jaunty little prance for scratches.
