I should probably be glad I'm not getting half eaten animals really but recently my 1 year old cat has taken to bringing home 'gifts' of empty cat food packets! First was a couple of weeks ago. DP and I were on the sofa watching TV when we heard the cat flap go a couple of times - Benny coming in and going out a couple of times, then he was half way through and scratching at something out the door. Eventually he finally managed to get his prize through and came running through the living room parading it around like a trophy - an empty Dreamies wrapper. He ran upstairs and left it by our bed. Thanks kitty!
This morning, came down to find another sparkly foil packet, this time an empty Goody Bag wrapper! Is this his way of letting us know he hates our choice of food?! He seems happy enough to eat it and he's definitely not going hungry. He is drawn to shiny things anyway and the wrappers smelling of food can only increase the appeal but I don't know where he's getting them. He's either being fed by somebody else and stealing the wrapper or raiding bins. I don't want to have a bin raider that the neighbours hate! I've never seen signs of rubbish strewn across gardens or the street and he doesn't go through our bin. What do you reckon of this?!
