When we brought our cat to my parents’ house for the first time she carried a full size stuffed cat down to the basement where we were sleeping. We would put it back in its place and she would bring it back every single night.

My roommates cat has a stuffed clown fish that is about size. He carries it all around the house with him. Super cute until he tries to hump it.

u/hikingfortheviews avatar

Aww that’s so cute 🥺

Until you realise the cat thinks it's bringing you soft furry prey to eat! Still cute, just a bit creepy as well ;)

u/Bugisman3 avatar

Not creepy, just caring.

Ummm stuffed as in like plushie? Or stuffed as in taxidermy? "Full sized" is why my brain went there just so im clear lol

u/TotallyLegitAcc avatar

I'm going to assume plushie, as in "life-sized stuffed animal." Though the idea of a cat carrying a taxidermied cat... I dunno, maybe that could be like a horror movie or something.

Totally where my brain went too at first. Then a small part of me went 'buuut it is reddit' lmao

Omg a stuffed cat as in a cat-sized plush animal lol.

Lmao that was my first thought but my brain was like 'idk, this is reddit'

Our cat proudly serves up house flies she catches and kills... sometimes on my pillow... while I sleep.

u/Garfield-1-23-23 avatar

My cat used to catch mice, eat the front half of them, then leave the back half on my pillow next to my face. It's strange the things you can become accustomed to.

I came home late from work one night to find a headless pigeon in my bedroom doorway. It was more like a threat than a gift.

I read somewhere that the reason they do this is because they think you are a really shitty cat and not nearly capable of hunting on your own, so they are giving you help and encouragement, hoping that you buck your ideas up and can finally get it together. Or at the very least trying to make sure you don't starve. "Do you even mouse, bro?"

NGL I read that on the internet so it's probably not true, but it's gradually become my favourite cat fact so now I don't care.

This was pretty much how I took the headless pigeon message. Cat expects dinner between 3.30-4.30pm, but that night I’d gone out straight from work so didn’t get home until after 9pm.

So cat was communicating: “useless human didn’t bring dinner. Look, I had to get it myself.”

I have also stopped caring if facts are true. I'm pretty sure I started like 15 rumors about random shit I talked about yesterday.

I know, she was so excited to show me all of her catches in the morning 🥰

I had a kitten who had a granny mouse toy. This toy had a little felt purse on it. As she played with it the purse eventually fell off. Whenever her food bowl was empty, she’d often put a toy in there. And eventually it almost always became the purse. So we used to joke she was trying to pay for more food. It was super cute.

Cat: MOM! MOM! MUM! MUM! MUMMY! MUMMY! LOOK!

Careful. Cats use height to decided who's in charge and cat trees are usually taller than beds. That's why my cat makes all the decisions for the household

That's ridiculous. The cat is always in charge.

What's a crepuscular being that sleeps 16/24 hours supposed to do with that 4 morning hours and 4 evening/night hours on average?

Does she sing a song while bringing you presents?

My older girl does and it gets bad during the winter. She brings us mittens, socks, underpants, leggings, toques, and other woolen items.

I think it is funny. My fiance not so much because it happens every night after the lights are off. I tell her that the kitty is worried we are not warm enough as we are uncivilized and without fur.

u/hikingfortheviews avatar

She actually did meow a little last night until I got up and she was able to show me that she was bringing me things. It was super cute 🥰

I know, she looks like a little panther carrying her catch around 😆 it’s even funnier when she’s dragging a full size pair of pants around our house

We get mysterious fur mice appearing in our bedroom every morning. Our kitty really likes this pink one for some reason and that appears all over the house haha. He also fell in love with this little eyebrow brush and carries that everywhere, I can no longer find it. It is so funny when you see them trotting purposefully with their prize in their mouth and I can only imagine when it's a full size thing hahaha

My cat used to bring me in empty potato chip packets, and one time a slice of pizza.

I thought it was random until I realised my cat was aware of my love of junk food. And it suddenly terrified me there was an animal in the house that was smarter than me. I’m terrible at giving other people gifts they like.

My Phillip does the exact same. I’ve resorted to going and throwing all his toys around our downstairs so he has something to “hunt” and bring to us as gifts. He loves it. He meows all crazy while he hunts and I yell down at him “that’s right get to work Phil. Gonna be a long night my friend!” 😏😆

Nice she did such a good job.

My cat would put her toys in my shoe.... I guess she likes the smell

My cats likes putting mice on my bed. Bonus points if they are still alive.

My cat drops her toys next to her food dish. Almost every morning there’s at least one little fluffy ball there.

She did a good job

I think she's trying to tell you that you need to start working out

Are those all some sort of wrist bands or support? Are you nursing an injury?

My neighbor actually has a line in their front yard that they hang things that their cat steals (mostly shoes) with a sign that says “sorry, my cat steals”. We live in a culdesac so when you can’t find a shoe, you just look out the front window to see if it’s hanging from the line.

u/Eats_Beef_Steak avatar

All bands or wraps of some kind. Wonder if they smelled like you so she brought them to you.

Look at all her gifts!! She really loves you guys

it's like a puzzle... she brought you those specific things for a reason

Mrowr!

We have one cat that had kittens before being taken off the raw streets of Pasadena and getting spayed.

We had to give her medicine by syringe at one point. She would get the syringe afterward, bring it somewhere, and sing to it. This went on long after the medicine was finished. Syringe Baby was a fixture for a year, then lost under the couch and never loved the same way.

She's nearly twelve now. We still imagine her Sophie's Choice events still haunt her. Then she pokes her sister in the face.

Those are her gifts after hunting.. be grateful human, outdoor cats usually give you more organic stuff ;)

It looks like she's trying to tell you something. Do you not play with her enough? It looks like she brought you bandages to make you better and her toy so you can now play with her now that she made you better.

My cat does this too. Best thing was a 4 foot piece of tubular, foam, pipe insulation. My house is not open concept, it must've been difficult.

Thank goodness none of it was a dead/still alive animal.

We have presents around the tree and the tiny cat decided to add his contribution - a dead bird. Thanks cat.

One of my cats likes to put his little toy mice in people’s shoes, in the water bowl, or in our bed while we’re sleeping. Last night I rolled over onto a soaking wet toy mouse that he must’ve pulled from the water bowl. Weird way to wake up at 3 am.

Is her name Roomba?

More like “how many times I got to tell you pick up your stanky ass socks!

My cat brought me a sock a couple weeks ago that I’d been missing for a least a year.

It's so interesting to basically see what their natural instincts substitute for the "normal" gifts of a snack of prey to eat.

Like how conscious are cats? Did a switch flip in her head and think "I need to show my gratitude OR ELSE THE PACK WONT LIKE ME" or is she just playing and then goes "oh! I should bring this toy to my favorite people! They'll love it! And then we don't play with it or even try to eat it lol

Khajit has wares if you have coin
