My cat is an evil mastermind I fucking swear.
So my cat likes to bring me 'gifts' and she likes to bring them into my bedroom. Like not even just leave them outside. No she will sneak them upstairs, come into my room and just drop a dead mouse or bird or whatever it is she's caught infront of me. When she does this she uses a specific meow to tell me she's caught something which means I know when she's trying to bring something into my room.
She then figured out that anytime she does that specific meow that I will without fail come running so she has started using it even when she doesn't have anything just because she wants my attention and it's not like I can just not go to her because she might actually have something. So now my cat will just frequently sit by my room and use that meow purely for attention. Thanks Nala.
