What to do if a cat brought you its prey: here's what a loving owner will do
Stop thinking that a cat is an animal that walks by itself. You'd be hard pressed to find a more social animal.
The behavior of yard cats, which gather in "prides", serves as proof of this. The same can be said about domestic individuals.
What is remarkable is that humans, from the point of view of the purrs, are part of this community. However, the bipeds do not occupy a leading position in the cat hierarchy.
Quite the opposite – from the cat’s point of view, its owner is absolutely helpless and is unlikely to be able to find food for himself.
This is probably the main reason why a cat shares its prey with a person. We have sorted out the motives that drive representatives of the feline family, now let's find out how to act in such a situation.
The main thing that any cat owner should remember is that you should never scold your pet if you find a dead mouse near your pillow.
It would also be a mistake to demonstrate that you do not need the trophy obtained in an intense hunt.
Instead, try to put your pet's prey away in a way that the cat can't see, as if it were a reserve.
Of course, after this, thoroughly disinfect the place where the body lay and treat your hands with an antiseptic.
