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 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.
I love this fight. Some frame it as US vs. UK thing when it's just animal welfare thing. It gets juicy.
