I’m at a friend’s place and the cat keeps bringing in dead (or half-dead) animals into the house. It’s my understanding that cats think we are big, helpless kittens that don’t know how to hunt. Hence, they think they are doing us a favour.

It seems like a few mice actually escaped and found refuge in some walls in the house, so these “presents” are actually more than just annoying (and smelly if the dead animal ends up behind the couch).

    Post the paper. You have made an assertion and the burden of proof is on you.

    Until you do it’s just bollocks.

        Ok lets break down your link. It cites a source but provides no link to the actual scientific peer reviewed articles.

        That fact alone immediately consigns that website to the ‘absolute bullshit’ bin.

        Like I said, you made the assertion and therefore the burden of proof lies on you to provide. It’s a simple rule that exists in all scientific and legal proceedings.

        The fact you don’t understand that simple rule immediately makes me discredit you and anything further you have to say.

          You’re a condescending fucker ain’t ya? Ignorant too. Dunno what your whole fuckin deal is but it’s incontrovertible that indoor cats life three to four times as long as outdoor cats on average, literally everywhere there’s domestic cats. So enjoy killing cats I guess. Fucking morons arguing with facts, fuckin lemmy.
