You see a need for validation, I see an appreciation of the mental stimulation they provide as buddies and companions.
The mouse carcass is a symbolic gesture by cats along the lines of the horses head in your bed. They want you to think they're to be feared. That, or they think they're giving you the plague. You'd think they'd come up with a better plan, what with all the time they spend lazing around, doing absolutely nothing.
Anyway, agree to disagree.
