Today, I woke up to my cat slowly dragging her paw across my face. I opened my eyes to see a bloody mouse dangling an inch from my face. It was still twitching. FML

Today, I woke up to what sounded like twigs snapping. Turns out it was the skull of a live mouse being crushed in my cat's jaws. FML

Today, my cat head-butted me awake as usual. I reached to pet him, but it wasn't his face I touched. It was the still-twitching corpse of the disemboweled rat he held in his jaws. FML

Today, my cat was looking a little peaky. After craning my neck to check for lumps under his chin, he felt this was the perfect time to throw up a half-digested mouse onto my face. FML

Sobering

Today, I made my way to bed around 4am after spending all night hanging out with my family. When I got to my bed, I started to clear a spot to lay down. Almost immediately, my hand touched something furry and cold and, fearing the worst, I turned the light on. Turns out my cat left me a half eaten rodent. FML

Today, I was messing with my cat by moving my hand around under the sheets to make it look like a mouse, making him pounce at it. Without thinking, I brought my hand up to scratch my nose and was immediately attacked by flailing claws. FML

Panic in the sheets

Today, I woke up to my disabled mother screaming for me. Fearing the worst, I hopped out of bed only to find that she was yelling because her cat had brought a field mouse inside as a gift. The problem? It was still alive. I had to get it from him and throw it outside. FML

Today, my cat attempted to make up for my insomnia with a dead mouse. I have no idea where he got it. FML

Is gift

Today, I awoke at two in the morning to my cat putting his most recent kill on my chest. When I jumped up screaming, the dead mouse went flying and now my husband and I can't find it. Better yet, now both my husband and my cat are giving me the silent treatment. FML

Today, I was cleaning mouse remains from the kitchen floor, left by my cat. I found a small round thing nearby. With no idea what it was, I picked it up and gave it a little squeeze to see if it was solid. It wasn't, and burst with great force onto my face. I'm pretty sure it was an eye. FML

I'd like to think this wasn't a threat, but a kitty-cat version of a Valentine. Waking up with a caress to breakfast in bed wouldn't be a bad thing to a fellow cat :P

actually to cats when they bring you a died animal such as a mouse they see it as a present peace offering so in the cats eyes it was doing a good thing something it thought friends do

I thought cats giving humans their catch means they think the human can't care for him/herself and needs help.

The other day my cat brought in a beheaded rat and put it on my bed, if he dangled that over my head I'd be halfway down the block in the next second!

I don't know why #65 has negative votes when they're correct. Cats bring you dead animals not as a peace offering, but because they believe that you are helpless like a kitten and therefore believe that they must hunt for you. Dogs are the ones that give it to you as a gift...

It's true. Cats bring food to their people to feed them. It's because they care about you and your survival, not really a 'gift" in the way we think of a gift. It is the ultimate way for a cat to show you it cares about you. Accept it graciously.
