If a Cat Loves You, It Will Bring You Gifts
I love you human, have a dead mouse!
You may know this - when a cat brings you a small animal that they have caught, this is actually a way of bonding with you. Catching that mouse or that pigeon was not easy, so why would they just leave it there for you? The answer is simple.
In the past, there were some interesting theories that spoke about how your cat actually threatens you when it brings you dead things, and while this has some humorous value, it is far from reality. Other theories implied that your dear pet is actually trying to teach you how and what to hunt, but that makes little sense too.
Actually, your cat is bringing you a treat.
When a cat brings you gifts like this it's a surefire sign it really likes you and thinks about you. It may be a bit nasty to clean up at times, but at least you get the satisfaction of knowing you have a genuine friendship with your feline companion going on.
Understanding basic cat instincts and behaviors is a must if you have a pet cat.
