Another take on "cat presents"--- I've gotten into looking for cat cartoons, just for a change of pace from YouTubes. A friend sent me this one. Perfect timing.

Human says- My cat brought home a present (his first present ever).... at least wasn't a dead bird. I say- really, a MOST unusual present... LOL Direct link is here (1:56) The graphic above is one of many from the absolutely hilarious guide How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you . Okay, everyone who's ever had a cat has probably been presented with a "present" at one time or the other. And, they aren't always dead. One of my cats woke me up in the middle of the night to drop an only slightly used/ wounded gopher on the kitchen floor. Good kitteh. The gophers had been laying waste to the vegetable garden. So, I have a question for Matthew Inman , creator of the guide (or for anyone else, for that matter- some astute kitteh commenters here)--This woman's cat brought in a "present" of lichens and a leaf. How would you interpret this behavior?
