Any cat owner knows that they like to bring little presents around as kill to brag about or offer up to you as a present. Usually it's their favourite toy or an actual dead mouse or bird if they can get one. Well every now and then I'll wake up to find one of my badger brushes on the floor somewhere. It's obvious that the cat has brought it out to please me. Go figure. Never any damage to the brush and the boar seems immune to her charms so far.

maybe the cat is hinting he wants to shave.

I used to have a cat that would bring in mostly unharmed chipmunks in order to "play" with them inside. One morning, I was sleeping on my stomach in bed when something sprinted up my leg. The cat was right behind it, and they both dug in their claws for grip on my bare back. Not my favorite way to wake up.
Of course, after he got yelled at, the cat lost all interest in the chipmunk, and it took me a solid half-hour to catch the thing.
My cat usualy brings in small lizards he catches outside. He plays with them until they are dead... a bit annoying but I don't yell at my cat because I know it's his way of showing that he is willing to contribute to the household economy.
Time 4:00AM
mom- John wake up theres a RABBIT in the bathroom!!!!
me- <groggy voice> are you high mom?!
SMACK! THUD!
me- ow!
mom- Milo (ginger tom, ever see the movie milo & otis :)) must have drug it in, get it out!
me- awww I wanna see the little bunny <opens bathroom door> SWEET VAMPIRE BUHDAH!!!!
this wasn't a little bunny this was a overweight raccoon w/ floppy ears atleast 3x the size of my cat! I got a box and scooped it up then set it free and went back to bed. Woke up to a family of possums playing dead in front of the catdoor w/ milo sitting in front looking up at me a proud smirk on his face.
If there were badgers were I live he would probably have brought those in too.
Thats really productive!
I've got a bird for breakfast. :)
Mine are both not very interested in my brushes for luck.

That first photo, it's just wrong. Like a transplant.
Also, it looks pretty malevolent.
I think the last photo is far worse: No prep, No lather, and a disposable!
Thats just plain animal cruelty :rant:
:OT hmmm if humans do this to themselves daily does that classify them as a masochist :ziplip: :p
I've never had any cats, but I've been told you should keep their gifts for a few days, so they'll know that nobody wants them.
Lather and shave (WTG) your pets.
Sounds about right! We had a cat for years that was declawed.. she enjoyed "playing" with mice.. she'd catch them and carry them around in her mouth still alive, and then put them down and bat back and forth and such..
My dog catches birds in mid air (I know it sounds impossible, but trust me) in the back yard. They never have a chance. Seeing my dog in predator mode is a pretty awesome thing. He's an assassin.
Once the bird is dead though, he doesn't know what to do with it so I have to get the shovel out and pick up all the little birdie pieces and throw them out. For him, it's not contributing to the household, it's for sport.
