Today, while spring cleaning, my cat came into the kitchen with a live mouse in her mouth. She looked me dead in the eyes and dropped the mouse, which then ran into my bedroom. It's been 4 hours and I still can't find it. Where's the cat? Chilling like nothing happened. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, my cat attempted to make up for my insomnia with a dead mouse. I have no idea where he got it. FML
Today, my cat came through my window, holding a dead rat in her mouth and dropped it in my pile of clothes. I then asked my dad if he could get the dead rat out of my room. After looking for an hour, he couldn't find it. Guess the rat wasn't dead after all. FML
Today, I was cleaning my room when I found a nice surprise from my cat. While I was on vacation, she killed a mouse. By the time I found it, there were maggots crawling in my carpet. FML
Today, my cat brought home a bloody, barely-living mouse. The thing managed to escape and dragged itself into a crack in the wall, where it must have died. The only way to get it out before it starts to stink up the place is by demolishing the wall. FML
Today, my cat let a mouse sit on his paws for several minutes, then just sat and watched as it scurried into a crack in the drywall. My cat is only 4. FML
Today, my 2-year-old cat finally decided to start catching mice. Like any other cat would, she left it for me to find. I found it in the middle of the night, as my bare foot rolled its guts out of its ass. FML
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, my cat started screaming nonstop outside my bedroom. She's never done this since she was last in heat (she's 7 1/2 years old), so I was worried. I opened the door to find that she had "killed' a mouse (a fake one, formerly attached to her cat tree) and was very proud of herself. That's cute, but… really? FML
Today, I was taking some clean bedsheets down from the top of the wardrobe. As I pulled the top sheet down, a cat jumped onto my face, claws and all, before falling to the floor and running away. Thing is, I don't own a cat and I have no idea where in the house it has hidden now. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I think when a cat brings you its prey,it means something symbolic to them. like a high honor there gracing you with. I forgot the ax

The cat brought you this mouse as a gift so you can kill and eat it on your own. It's not trying to catch it again because it's technically yours now. She's not an asshole or trying to annoy you, it's the opposite really. Your name is "crazycatlady" so I'm a bit surprised you don't know about basic cat behaviour?

Pretty sure op is aware of the fact that the cat is actually trying to train her to hunt, but for the sake of fml's people tend to word it in a witty way. Yes the cat is trying to teach her to hunt, but from a humans perspective it looks like the cat purposely brought the mouse in (after all her cleaning) just to have it run around and bug op and isn't trying to help catch it, all just to be a dick.

Thanks, #28 - I was about to comment to explain the phenomenon myself. The behaviour OP describes is linked to your cat's belief that, as she's never seen you catch anything, you don't know how. Therefore, by bringing you something she's hunted down still alive, you can practice your hunting skills & become a proficient hunter. This behaviour is also displayed when mother cats are teaching their kittens to hunt, so it's affectionate, but she's also critiquing your apparent lack of hunting skills. Best to prove you're a capable mouser quickly this time, while she's still waiting patiently & watching, or she'll have to try teaching you again another time.

If you never learn to catch your own mice, your cat won't stop trying to teach you.
