Our twelve-year-old female cat is a dedicated consumer of rodents ... what she catches, she eats. In order to keep the mess inside the house at a minimum, we watch closely whenever we let her come into the house, so that she will have her rodent meal outdoors. However, in the summer, when we anticipate being away for a day or more, we leave a window open so she has access to her food bowl and water. This also enables her to devour her catch inside. No surprise there. We know that she has enjoyed a meal because she does not eat one internal organ and -- finally I get to my point -- she leaves near that organ a few blades of grass or leaves. I think this is new behavior, but am not certain. I assume that she must bring the vegetation inside after she has eaten her prey.
My question: have any of you observed similar behavior and can you explain it?
