I know that my large, muscular cat loves me very much. I'm told that he becomes despondent when I'm not around and when I am around he wants to be wherever I am. But I know that if I were smaller then him then I would become his dinner in an instant.

When I don't feel him he tackles me from behind. Thirteen pounds of aggressive boy-cat can make my knees buckle but I love this rambunctious guy.

He was trying to feed you. And you are supposed to pretend to eat it in front of him and appear grateful. At least that's what this lady told me a few weeks ago.

I heard that they never see you actually kill your food so they suspect that you don't know how to take care of yourself. This gesture is them trying to take care of you.

that is awesome.

This couple that's friends with a friend of mine--their large dog once killed a DEER and brought it home, for this very reason.

tough love of the fittest.

Actually, the dead squirrel on the bed is simple gifting. Cats really do love to share. If you'll notice, the animal killed is always in an area where you'll notice it when you happen along your day. Never will you find a dead-animal gift where you eat.

Feeding a cat to a shark would be sad. Then again, most (?) cat food is comprised of other animals. Is that sad, that cats are eating other the remains of other creatures?

Seeing my cat eat is hilarious. Since he is a persian, he mashes his face all in there and then afterwards he blisses and runs and proceeds to give me jellymeat kisses

I love watching my cat eat!

The house I live in has a tv room that was added on about ten years ago by the previous owner. Every so often a couple of slugs will crawl out from under the one step that separates the two rooms. I have discovered that slugs like carrots. Pumpkins, I knew, but carrots was news to me. So now I lay out a little baby carrot when I see one.

my cat doesn't like to eat if you don't watch him eat. he'll come get you to watch him eat. stupid cat.
