Cats will do this with their fucking owners, they just assume we're incompetent because we're not catching any critters, so they have to catch them for us so we don't starve.
Plus i'm pretty sure this is part of why many cats insist on joining us in the bathroom, they gotta keep watch while we're vulnerable taking a dump.

One of mine doesn't watch, she jumps into my lap and curls up.

I think my cat is a perv.

I wonder if mine are broken. They will only play with what they catch, never serve me the catch. Though most of the time it's only stick or some cabletie, occasionally iguana, all for their entertainment.

unfortunately a lot of cats suffer from "stinky dummy" syndrome, it's very sad 😔

Is that device meant to alleviate SDS symptoms at all? I'd be interested to see any studies on it if there are any, if you could tell me what it's called or point me to the research it would be much appreciated.

We're looking at all the options we can for our severely SDS afflicted SIC.
