Stupid-human tricks.


On "Live Prey for Dummies: Meerkats coach pups on hunting" (SN: 7/15/06, p. 36), real cats do this too. I have observed many adult cats teaching kittens (not necessarily theirs) to hunt. People who receive "presents" from their cats are not being gifted. The eats are trying to teach them how to hunt, but the cats probably think we are pretty dumb.
