Arrgghhh! Help me! Every two days or so I find a rotten, dead, stinking animal in my bed! It is so gross!! My cat must enjoy seeing me scream in horror or something. How do I stop her doing this!
LOL I take it you live on a farm or acreage? Get fake animals and lace them with catnip so she'll go after them instead of (hopefully) the real ones. Other than that trade cats with some one who wants a mouser. best of luck and get lots of lysol spray to kill off anything the dead animals may leave behind in you mattress. Spray Nine works for that too.
Well, your cat loves you. He's bringing you food! LOL! He probably wonders why you don't like it....humans can be soooooo fussy!
Try the toys with cat-nip, but don't expect him to quit trying to feed you. You need to 'check' him before he comes into the house--make him leave his presents outside.
the cat is giving you offerings lol....at least they are not layed on your lap lol without you seeing it coming...mine gave me a mouse once in front of company
It is a sign of respect, and that you are the dominant kitty in your kitty's life. Take it as a sign of love. I always felt that it was better to find them dead then seeing them run across my kitchen floor
She is giving you gifts. Probably for two reasons, 1: because she loves you and 2: because she wants you to be proud of her. I know that it's disgusting (my cat has done that a couple of times) but it is well-intended. I always make sure that I give my cat a treat after she catches a mouse. This gives her the praise she's looking for. Also, when I started doing that, my cat stopped dropping them on the bed and would instead be sitting patiently by the door with it to show me.
I once knew this cat that had an owner who suffered from an eating disorder, the cat use to leave dead catches everywhere for her owner. She once woke up from a nap on the couch with a dead mouse on her chest and her cat in her lap looking up at her. The owner started to recovery from her eating disorder and the more weight she gain the less dead things she found her cat leaving behind for her. Now she's at a healthy weight and her cat eats all of what it catches and doesn't leave anything behind. So maybe your cat is telling you that you need to gain some weight or that it thinks that your starving, or maybe he's just leaving offerings and snacks for you.
Remember that a killing cat is a happy cat. All that my two lady cats leave me are wings and feet, in my closet or living room. The Animal Planet determined that the most extreme predator is the house cat, because of the great variety of its prey and its hunting prowess.
