This video makes you think. What if our pets are much more spiritual than us? This cat seems to have grasped the concepts of Ahimsa (non-violence) and karma.
He's not just playing with his prey, he's trying to… revive it? Atone for his guilt? Or maybe he's realized that everything (even toys) is worthy of nourishment? He's trying to feed someone who can't ask for it himself. Deeply.
Or maybe it's just instinct?
Zoologists have a simpler explanation for this behavior. Mother cats bring their kittens half-live prey to teach them how to eat and hunt. Perhaps for this cat, his toy snake is a kind of “baby” that needs to be cared for. He is not just sharing food, he is fulfilling his sacred mission of being a mentor and provider in a safe place, near his own bowl.
A gift for “yours”
Cats often bring their “prey” (whether it’s a mouse or a favorite toy) to a place they consider the center of their territory — to their bowl or even to their owner’s feet. This is a sign of the highest trust and love. Perhaps the cat is sharing not so much with the snake as with its entire “pack,” which includes the person filming this video. It’s as if he’s saying, “Here, I’ve taken care of all of us, our family won’t go hungry.”
The need for company
Look at it this way: no one likes to eat alone. Maybe this furry friend just brought his best friend to dinner to share the meal. It's not so much an act of caring for the hungry person as it is an expression of friendship and a desire to be together. In his world, a toy is a full-fledged companion.
Whether it's a manifestation of ancient instincts, cosmic wisdom, or simple feline logic, this scene reminds us of one thing: There's a place in our pets' world for caring that goes beyond mere survival. And perhaps we should learn from them about this unconditional generosity.
