    It was bringing you your food and sharing it. Much more advanced than my cat which brings food neither one of us wants (giant spiders) and not eating it (it’s still alive and under my bed) and then shouting about it (please send a team to help extricate the arachnid)

      Maybe the giant spiders are meant to be a way for you to learn to hunt, before graduating to actual food?

      They could be meowing at you like a drill sergeant.

    My cat also prefers to eat when I’m nearby. I think it’s a comfort thing.

      Eating as a family is often better than eating alone. Especially when you’re going to be sharing the food like cats do.

      In the wild they are probably vulnerable when eating so maybe it’s for protection. I’m no expert though.

        I recall reading that cats in the wild are considered semi-social, so while they usually don’t hunt together, they do like to eat and hang out together with animals they like during down time. You’re part of their in group.

    I love my cat, and if he did this, I would be absolutely flattered that he felt safe to eat a meal on top of me. Plus it’d be so freaking hysterical to wake up to such an absurd scenario you’d never expect to happen! One of those things you wish you got on video

    My cat will carry his toys to me and drop them at my feet when he wants to play, for context.

      My cat wakes me up every night somewhere between 4 and 5 and asks for belly rubs. She goes back to sleep after 5-10 minutes.

        My cat keeps waiting patiently till I open my eyes, and as soon as she notices Im awake she runs up to my head and starts rubbing her own head against my face. She gets so worked up she sometimes does little cartwheels.

          She certainly did!

          Btw, I work from home and when she wants belly rubs, she comes to me and starts touching me with a paw. That’s how she asks for belly rubs when I’m sitting in my chair, haha. She’s obsessed with belly rubs!

    Why was there pizza sitting out in the open unrefrigerated after they’d gone to bed? Seems gross.

    The cat is being merciful by only eating your pizza. Make sure it is always well fed.
