This is what my friend's cat would do...all the time. Except we wouldn't act as if it carried the plague of a zombie invasion with her, we'd just watch her eat the thing she caught.
Poor Ahri, as cute as she looks in this. Hooreng makes some pretty adorable Ahri<3

Cats give gifts because they believe their human pets are atrocious hunters and decide to help them out of pity.
One poorly understood element of cat hunting behavior is the presentation of prey to human owners. Ethologist Paul Leyhausen proposed that cats adopt humans into their social group, and share excess kill with others in the group according to the local pecking order, in which humans are placed at or near the top. Anthropologist and zoologist Desmond Morris, in his 1986 book Catwatching, suggests that when cats bring home mice or birds, they are attempting to teach their human to hunt, or trying to help their human as if feeding "an elderly cat, or an inept kitten". Morris's theory is inconsistent with the fact that male cats also bring home prey, despite males having no involvement with raising kittens.
