Kitty just brought me a midnight snack. I ate it.

I awoke from slumber. It was midnight. I had been reading Michael Cohen's book, Disloyal, after work. I had fallen asleep with the lights on.
Twenty minutes after I woke up, Kitty came in with a midnight snack for me. It was a moth. I grabbed it, gobbled it up, and thanked her profusely.
Kitty spent a couple of minutes sniffing around the floor, looking for its remains. Maybe cats are secretly messier eaters than humans.
Now she is eating some dry food. What do you do when your pets offer you a delicious treat?

You eat it and thank her with lots of loving scratching...
I'm glad you enjoyed your moth. (Cats don't eat the wings. She was probably wondering why you ate those.)

@TheHorse I already figured that out.
You do know that a lot of the moths/insects in the US are good to eat, right? You could have fried that one up and eaten it with scrambled eggs.

I am just worried if the raw moth mutates within Horse, then we might have a MothCovid-21 and then we might have to wear those biological weapon protection masks with eye shields !!

My dogs never brought me any treats, but they always looked to me for some. Funniest thing was I dropped a potato on the floor when Freckles was a puppy. She picked it up and ran off with it. I kept peeling potatoes, assuming she thought it was a ball. When I went to retrieve it, she’d eaten about half of the raw potato.

@vandana7 — no, she really liked raw potatoes. She was all attentive at the garbage can when I peeled them.

None of my cats have ever brought me anything and I'm fine with that but I understand that if you order something from them and they take longer than 30 minutes, you get it for free.

@TheHorse She should be made aware of it.

Good Kitty.
Were you just really, really tired, or is the book a bit of a snooze?

Oh you ate the Moth without cooking! I think you should cook Non-vegetarian stuff before eating lest you become the host of a new virus !!

Or the Walnut Creek virus? Well I am already tired of masking, social distancing, words like 1st, 2nd, 3rd wave and so and so ...

Yes after a few moments of frustration, realization dawns on to us that we need to be careful and practical.

The cat that I used to have, Sneezy, had once brought in a live mouse. Of course I freaked out. Lily had once caught a lizard and ate it. But my uncle's cats don't bring me any gifts.

Well my pet mostly got from me not really that they give me one that often but what I do if they give me one is to say nice things of what they have done.

Depends on the treat, You did right making her think you ate that moth, I remember our first cat in Latvia brought in a giant grasshopper. We thanked her but said we had just eaten as if you understood she crunched up the grasshopper and went back outside leaving the legs for us,
