Does Your Cat Bring You Presents?

The Oatmeal brings us a look at cats in: How Much Do Cats Actually Kill? This is one reason why Wisconsin has allowed open hunting of feral cats. They are absolutely destructive dosn't ya think?

*fixed*

Yes, you are right. I fixed it. I really do need a day off, but even after this job is over, it does not look like I will be getting but maybe one, if that.

No since I don't have a cat.

Do a youtube search "Cat vs Snake" and watch some of the videos.

Let me give you a hint: The cat always wins or loses interest.

They have in the past. They can be pretty fearesome hunters, but then when you want them to catch something they just sit there and snooze.

It's in their nature. What do you expect? The fact that their bringing you a gift is a sign of respect from the cat. I don't own any pets. bobaban

Or they just think you're a terrible hunter that can't fend for yourself.

Anyways, my cat spends most of her time indoors, even when she wants to go outside she doesn't bother going beyond eyesight. Not that I doubt she wants to kill things, I've seen her watching birds, but she's too fat and lazy to actually catch things.

My dogs however, have racked up at least two squirrels and a rat.

I don't have a cat. I have a immense dislike for cats.

i dont have a cat. kinda want one though.

we've got two shih-tzus who are only outside long enough to do their business and then they want to come inside. our youngest shih-tzu though has this habit of wasting a good amount of time outside, only to end up pooping by the front door. its like she is scared to poop outside.

you could make her stay oustide for an hour(we dont do that) and she will pee a couple times, then as soon as she gets inside, she poops by the front door. makes no sense.

No since I'm not an idiot that keeps my cats outdoors.

She used to bring some mice every now and then. That's the only reason my mom kept her around.

So you force them in, in your house not letting them go out? Tight get.

Not really, my cat leaves presents in a brown stinky form in my jeans if that counts.

No presents, unless you consider fluffs of fur left all over my stuff. He's an indoor cat that lives on the 3rd floor. He likes to sit in front of the screen when the door is open, but doesn't like to go out on the balcony. It seems to be too bright for him. My wife's cats back home leave mice and birds all over the place. Just pitching in.

My cat brings me all sorts of things. He hunts everything he can find. He even stalks the three-legged cripple cat from two houses down. Unfortunately though, my cat is a mafia cat, horse head in your bed-style. Imagine waking up midmorning. You don't have to go to work, it's your day off. It's summer, so your housemates leave the back door open when somebody's at home doing yardwork so puddy tat can roam freely in and out. You gotta pee. So you get out of bed. And exit your room. And crunch under your foot, a mouse corpse. Still a little warm. Your cat is nowhere to be found, but the chew marks indicate who the gift came from. He suddenly emerges from a blind corner, infuriated. You've stomped on his gift. You've upset him. So he bites you all over while you try to clean the mouse guts off of your bare foot and try your best not to vomit. True story. XilePrincess

My cat was polite and left all the corpses on the back step.

We don't let our cats outside ever so they aren't hunters. Occassionally they will bring me one of their toys.
