Bucky, you need to offer pinkish a nice present. Like a slightly chewed bird that you’ve caught. Just present it to him in bed some morning. He will love it.
While I was still sleeping, my cat would drape headless bunnies across my chest as a present some spring mornings. He was a gourmet and kept the heads for his own consumption.
Cats are not just carnivores, they are obligate carnivores, meaning they have to eat meat to survive. Feed a cat a strictly vegetarian diet and it will die (they can’t synthesize one of the essential amino acids, taurine, I think). Dogs and humans, in contrast, can survive just fine on a vegetarian diet.
I had a friend long ago who expounded his “Barry-O-Centric Theory” of the universe. This cat is obviously living the “Bucky-O-Centric Theory.” Except for him, it’s no theory!

They must have been wonderful cats. Did you serve their ‘gifts’ with krackers?

Is Rob unaware that humans are carnivores?

He’s a cat, it’s what cats do, following their evolutionary imperative.

Anti-hunters always have this saying that “humans are the only ones who kill for fun.” None of them ever owned a cat.
