Why Does Your Cat Bring Dead Animals To You?
This is an all too familiar scene to any cat owner. Your cat after a time out of the house comes home and brings you – no presents you like a welcome gift – on your feet a dead animal. Could be a bird, a mouse or other small animal that they can catch.
Before you get annoyed or grossed out, you have to understand the nature of the cat.
Hunting Skills You Lack
Your cat may be teaching you how to hunt. Cats are natural hunters which is a skill that humans need to learn. And you have to admit mouse hunting is something that cats are very good at. (And you are even thankful for.)
A Cat’s Way Of Giving A Gift
Presenting you with a dead animal may also be a way of your cat in presenting a gift. Your cat may think that he is doing you a favor for ridding of the mice in the house.
Whatever may be your cat is up to, bringing a dead animal to you is part of their normal behavior. So no need to stress on it. Just throw the carcass in the trash and continue on with whatever you were doing.
