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, 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, I woke up to yet another severed rat head next to my bed, which I have to dispose of yet again. Cats are seriously weird. 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 noticed my kitten was growling and twitching in his sleep. I tried to wake him up by gently prodding him. He responded by waking up and attacking my face. FML

Poor Mickey

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

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

Cujo, but for cats

Today, my cat was incessantly meowing trying to get me to wake up and feed him. Because it was 6 a.m., and I'd hardly slept at all last night, my brain decided that the best solution to get him to shut up would be to hug him. The result was a normally docile and lazy cat giving me a nasty scratch next to my left eye. FML

Today, I ignored my cat's incessant meowing, and pushed him away every time he wanted to be petted. The next time I walked downstairs I found him dead. FML

Dogs do it too. I can't even begin to count how many times my dog has brought me a dead bird or rabbit.

I've "adopted" abandoned cats in the country before and they used to bring "presents" to leave at the front door. It's really a sweet gesture, it shows the cat cares for the OP, at least.

The cat's giving you a hint. It wants a gift too... better start catching those rats!

In fact, offerings like these seem to be intended as a tutorial. I can only assume that my cats think me quite capable of catching my own, because back when they used to hunt, they never shared. :-/ On the other hand, my boycat tends to wake me up by licking my face. I don't mind unless he sticks his tongue in my eye, which is sadly not as rare as I'd prefer...
