    Someone told me that cats do it because they consider you equal to a kitten who doesn’t know how to hunt.

      Yeah it’s less “here, master, accept my humble offering” and more “hey dumbass, take this so you don’t starve to death”

      Not exactly. It’s usually done by female cats. It’s normal for them to do this when they have kittens. What happens when they are sterile? Well, the behaviour continues without any kittens to bring it to. Bringing it home is just what happens.
