Speaking of animals and food oddities, my dog used to carry his food one mouthful at a time out to the living room so he could eat around us. He’d drop it on the floor and then leisurely eat it and go back for more.

This has been debunked, unfortunately, male cats do this too, and they don’t teach kittens to hunt.
It is believed now, they simpltdo this because they want to bring their prey to their core territory. Which is also where you are.
My fatto catto has somehow learned to catch chipmunks but i am unsure if he cant (because he is mostly toothless) kill them or wont. He will bring them to me to show his prowess just… Jammed in his jaws until i praise him and give him a treat to drop the lil guy who quits playing dead and scampers off. Three chipmunk messiahs have been ressurrected thusly.
Funnily enough this has not caused the chipmunks to respect him. A younger chipmunk came up while my killer was recharging in the sun and pulled his butt hair and once he had his attention, scampered off to his safe space on the fence to chirp. I dunno if it’s the same guy but when my cat is inside there’s one little dude who will come by my door to looking for him. Shits like Tom and Jerry out here
My orange idiot will wait at the door with a mouse in his mouth until I let him in and then put it on the ground and scream at me to make sure I see it. He’ll never eat it.
You could try not letting your cat out, that’s a neat trick.
