You should follow my cat around outside for a day, and see what she eats for
variety. Her latest thing is earthworms. She eats some, and brings others to
the doorstep and leaves them there in tatters. Not sure if she intends to
eat them later, or if she's leaving them for me. Can't explain to her that
they're useless for fishing if they're in a million pieces.
