Speaking of animals and food oddities, my dog used to carry his food one mouthful at a time out to the living room so he could eat around us. He'd drop it on the floor and then leisurely eat it and go back for more.

When cats bring you food, mice, birds, etc. it's because they think you're an especially stupid cat, but they like you enough to keep trying to take care of/teach you.

This has been debunked, unfortunately, male cats do this too, and they don't teach kittens to hunt.

It is believed now, they simpltdo this because they want to bring their prey to their core territory. Which is also where you are.

They are not exactly wrong now, are they?
