My Cat Keeps Bringing Me ‘Gifts’—Should I Be Worried?

Featured Replies

Posted

So my cat has started this new habit of bringing little 'presents' to the front door—usually random bits of leaves, twigs, or sometimes even a small bug. At first, I thought it was just cute, like she was sharing her hunting trophies with me. But now it’s happening almost every day, and sometimes the gifts are a bit... gross.

Is this normal cat behavior? I know cats are natural hunters, but should I be worried about the bugs or anything she might be bringing inside? Also, how do you politely tell a cat you don’t want their 'offerings' without hurting their feelings? I feel like she’s trying to bond, but it’s a little overwhelming!

Would love to hear if anyone else has had this experience or any tips on handling it!
