What does it mean when your cat keeps bringing mice to your front door instead of eating them?

Answer 1

Cats are hunters by nature, and when the cat brings its kill to your door, it is a sign of respect. Think of it as a gift- gross as it may be. The cat is looking for praise from you on a job well done.

Answer 2

It means that they are trying to introduce you to hunting. Or they are gifts, because they see you as either their kit or their parent. My cats bring me 'presents' all the time, like huntsman Spiders, honeyeater birds, cicadas and mice.

Answer 3

it thinks you want to eat them trust me that happened to me as well

Improved Answer:

Simply put, your cat has brought you the mice as a gift. The other answer is quite right; your cat wants you to eat it!

Answer 4

As a gift, and to show how clever they are. I remember cats putting dead rabbits on our beds.
