Awww..that is so sweet!!! You remind me that my mother had a cat, eons
ago now, that brought her presents. With a little life left in them so
that she could enjoy them. Rabbits, chipmunks, birds, snakes -- Mom was
less than thrilled and usually jumped up onto a chair or table and
screamed for me to come take care of it. He loved her so and she just
didn't understand!

He probably thought she was a retarded kitten: Look, it's easy, it's
practically dead, c'mon kid, you can do it! Oh, rats, up on the
chair again.

I'll bet he was equally displeased with your progress: you never
quite grasped that once you'd killed it, you could eat it.
