The Mystery of the Dead Mouse: Why Your Cat Brings You "Gifts"

Why Do Cats Bring Home Dead Animals? A Polish mother-daughter duo, Dorota Sumińska and Marta Stachowiak, who run the popular social media channel "Zwierzę Ci się," offer an insightful explanation. In their recent video, they discuss the instinctual behavior of cats bringing "gifts" to their owners. Sumińska explains, "Koci mama tak uczy swoje kocięta jak polować." This translates to, "A cat mother teaches her kittens how to hunt." The video has garnered significant interest, with over 1600 views in just two days. The pair also suggest that this act is a form of providing for their human companions. The video serves as a gentle reminder of the natural instincts of our feline friends and promotes understanding of their behavior.
