Alt text: Now she's looking at me like this, like it's my fault I lost it. I tore the whole bed apart. She caught it, and I have to sleep with it, but that's my fault, obviously.
Yeah, she was definitely trying to teach you to hunt (some cats seem to consider their owners just gigantic incompetent cats). She's probably saying something like "I even brought it right to you and you still couldn't catch it?!"
I think you’re totally right. She’s a really good mouser, and normally kills what she catches – until this week. I live in a 140 year old house, and the mice like to come inside for warmth in winter. This will only be the second winter she’s lived here with me, and she’s brought me 2 live mice this month – but only one into my bed. She may be getting frustrated that I don’t kill and eat them like I’m supposed to.
e: it kinda seems she’s trying to make it as easy as possible.
Just another fuzzy creature to snuggle with. She wanted to share
smh. How are you ever going to learn to catch mice when you can't catch one in your own bed?
For real though, this may be what she’s actually thinking.
