I hope my cat doesn't get disappointed when I don't eat the bugs he brought me

A cat at my office brought a still hot breakfast burrito to me once. I unwrapped it for him.

When my work clo ed down, boss retired, i took him home. He sleeps on the foot of my bed now but also has a more healthy diet. No more breakfast burritos.

It's nice of you to take care of your boss like that πŸ₯°

Employee of the month, every month.

bought

well, she bought it. obviously.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We cannot gloss over this. Cats understand the concept of currency... and have reserves of it!?

[–] knorke3@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

i would like to refer you to the breadcrumb dealer

But there's nowhere that sells wings for miles! Did she drive?

I've had a cat come home with pigeons and a small snake. One thing for sure it wasn't a gift for me. He comes home with his pray so stray cats from the neighborhood don't steel his catch.

Yea I think that gift thing is crap personally. Pretty sure my cat's thought process is more like: "This toy was fun, then it died and the fun stopped. You there, make it fun again."

Depends on the cat. Sometimes it genuinely is gifting but sometimes they bring you stuff like this because they think you're a dumb hairless cat that doesn't know how to hunt properly.

We had mice in my old apartment after bringing me like 4 dead ones my oldest cat that I got as a kitten from my cousins barn cats pointed me to a live one it had cornered. Lil fucker sits up next to it, looks down at it and meows repeatedly. Doesn't stop until I kill the mouse myself. After that he never brought me another mouse.

Wow, that's cool. Like he wanted to be sure you can take care of yourself.

My friend who used to live with me would feed my cat from her plate, which turned him into a greedy pain in the arse who tries to eat everything. Took a while of me gently moving his head away for him to stop immediately trying to eat everything on my plate as soon as I put it down. He went from having no interest in human food at all to full Garfield.

My cat brought me home a dumpling once. Not entirely sure what it was hinting.

[–] somethingsnappy@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I had a cat that brought me bats. Like the flying mammal kind. I did not know that was a thing. And he was definitely proud.

She's taking care of you! She thinks she's your mommy.

This image is ancient, not OP.

That's unfair. You have no idea how ancient OP is.

[–] Eonandahalf@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

β€œIt’s still warm” πŸ˜‚that’s what gets me. Like, it was just somebody’s food. Someone just prepared or was eating it.

[–] JCDenton@aussie.zone 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Butters! You're grounded, mister!

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 2 years ago

Aw, hamburgers!

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

robbed a KFC?

[–] Hellstormy@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

He caught it! What else?

[–] Postreader2814@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Those are leftovers, she went to KFC.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I only ever got squirrel kidneys. I miss my cat :(

[–] xenspidey@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

That looks more like a drum stick to me
