I have four cats. The most recent arrival, Rolo, was a stray who found his way through the catflap about a year ago and never left.
For the past few weeks, Rolo has been leaving me severed animal heads around the house. Sometimes he's obviously bought them in and played with them as well while I've been at work.
I've been trying to think of a reason why he's just leaving the heads - I've had lots of cats but never had one that just left heads! I had one who ate her prey whole right in front of me, and another who just left the gall bladder, but this is new to me.
I've come up with the following reasons:
- He's reliving a past life as a axe murderer or guillotine operator.
- He just likes collecting severed heads.
- He's watched The Godfather too many times (thankfully none of the heads have been in our bed so far!)
Does anyone have any other ideas about what he's trying to tell me? Maybe when I get the message he'll stop!
