Letter: You scratch my back

Published 16 October 2013

From Giuseppe Sollazzo

In your look at the true nature of cats (14 September, p 44), you miss one of their most peculiar behaviours: that of giving their “owners” dead mice as a present.

It has happened to me a couple of times, and it always felt (very unscientifically) as a genuine act of friendliness, perhaps in return for so much cat food.
