We where adopted by a stray about a year and a half ago (bengal cat).
At first she never brought anything back (maybe she kept it for herself? Or maybe she was a house cat before and didn't know how to hunt?)
Last spring she had kittens, once the kittens where gone and she was spayed she began bringing the odd 'gift' home. Obviously we wouldnt allow her in the house with it so after a little while she would eat it.
She was well fed but we thought it was a waste-not attitude after almost starving as a stray. I've never heard of that before? Gifts are usually brought and left for the owner - as far as I know?
These days she has mastered hunting and brings our gifts back live - daily!
Again, she will attempt to give them to us multiple times then eat it.
Has anyone else seen or heard of this?thanks
