It happens that cats living in a summer house or a private home bring a mouse to the owner of the home. Not everyone knows what to do in such a case, even experienced cat owners.

The main thing here is not to get nervous - you can't help the rodent anyway. But you need to understand the reason why the cat didn't eat the prey itself, but brought it to the owner.

Let's figure out how wise cat owners act in such cases.

You must not yell or swear at your pet, even if a dead mouse evokes extremely negative emotions.

The best thing to do in such a case is to thank the cat for his initiative.

If an animal brings a rodent into the house or somewhere else where the owner is, this is the highest sign of love, gratitude and respect from the four-legged one.

There is no need to take the mouse away - it is the hunter's prey.

If the cat puts the mouse down and runs away, you can quietly get rid of such a gift. It is best to burn the dead link in the food chain in a fire.

It is imperative to praise the cat for such care and maybe even give it a treat.
