Cats are born predators and expert hunters. Even with domestication, cats still find thrill when going after and capturing anything from a mouse or other prey, a feather on the end of a string, or a moth at the window. Whatever they capture are then presented to their owners with pride.

There are cat owners who wake up and find dozens of “prizes” scattered all over their bed, including paper balls and toy mice. Some cats even leave presents in their owner’s shoes.

Your cat’s hunting forays may result in prey lined up on the back porch as a present for you. A cat that is allowed to roam outdoors may bring what he has caught inside the house. Even when your kitty is well-fed, he will always heed the call of the wild, going hunting in an effort to feed his age-old instinct.
