I’m at a friend’s place and the cat keeps bringing in dead (or half-dead) animals into the house. It’s my understanding that cats think we are big, helpless kittens that don’t know how to hunt. Hence, they think they are doing us a favour.
It seems like a few mice actually escaped and found refuge in some walls in the house, so these “presents” are actually more than just annoying (and smelly if the dead animal ends up behind the couch).
Ah, the guy looks like a roided up house cat from the videos I’ve seen, but maybe I’ve been looking at the hybridized ones in the wild on youtube.
The Americas don’t have cats that quite that small, I don’t think, though Bobcats get close.
