1. K&R for the kitteh. She's very dedicated, especially with the big toys. nt

4. That's the funniest cat video I've seen in awhile.

I wish my two ass- cats liked me that much. As it stands, I bring them gifts.

5. That is a riot. What a little sweetie.

6. My old cat was an indoor/outdoor cat

We lived in the country and once he brought me a dead jackrabbit

[malaise]

7. Freaking hilarious

One of the young feral males once brought me a dead rat from I don't know where. He dropped it on the patio and I let him know I was not amused. He was still a kitten then and he hasn't brought another one since.

8. I love that she's so vocal when she picks one out.

9. But, really-- what does it mean?

I've had cats do this (not to this extent) and never really understood why. Oftentimes, it's accompanied by a loud meow.

Love cats but they sure can be mysterious which, I suspect, is part of their charm.

10. They love you and show it by bringing you gifts. You should be highly flattered.

That's why experts say you shouldn't scold them if they bring you a dead mouse or bird. They're showing their esteem and it confuses them if you react in horror.

11. But you're not actually required to eat it.

Just thank the cat politely and tell him you're saving it for later.

16. Got it

[ailsagirl]

12. I am flattered

I just wish they didn’t howl while they do it— it always sounds to me as if they’re distressed, and that tends to concern me.

13. They're just announcing themselves, lol. My Otis does this. He brings me is favorite

toy and announces it by howling loudly with it between his teeth as he's marching towards me. It was alarming at first and sometimes still is when he decides to bestow his gift on me at 3:00 a.m.

17. My late cat Milo did that, too.

He had a favorite toy - a fairly large stuffed animal - that he'd bring me (usually late at night) while loudly announcing his approach. If I heard muffled yowling coming toward me, I always knew he was carrying his toy.

15. Were they females?

My parents had a female cat that had kittens, and it started behaving that way afterwards, like a mother cat bringing prey back to her babies.

14. I'll be. Our cat does the same thing with the dog toys.

I don’t know why it never occurred to me that there might be a reason for the line of toys always leading from our bedroom.

18. One night our cat Loki kept coming into our bedroom throughout the night

When we woke up, there was a circle of socks around our bed that he had carried from the basement laundry room to our second floor bedroom.
