Оглавление‘Cats can be very funny, and have the oddest ways of showing they’re glad to see you. Rudimace always peed in our shoes.’
W. H. AUDEN
For a cat to present you with its prey is an honour. Whether this is laying a dead mouse on your doorstep or bringing it indoors, it’s a cat’s way of showing love, care and trust. It is akin to a mother cat sharing food with her kittens, and your cat, with its present, wants to show you its love and that you won’t starve or go without.
Admittedly, a dead mouse is a present you may not necessarily appreciate, but present-giving is a sign that you care about and are keen to please another. And when the present is unexpected and well thought out, it will often mean that much more. Just like a cat, give an occasional present to those who are important and special to you – only choose something more appropriate!
