If your cat has ever brought you a dead mouse or bird, you might have been surprised or even shocked. However, this behavior is actually natural.
Reasons Cats Do This
Hunting Instinct
Cats are natural hunters, even if they are well-fed.
Teaching Behavior
Mother cats bring prey to their kittens to teach them how to hunt.
Sharing With Their Owner
Some experts believe cats see their humans as family and want to share their “catch.”
What You Should Do
Avoid punishing your cat. Instead, calmly remove the animal and redirect their energy toward toys and play.
