Imagine if humans did this with human babies.

Sees baby unattended for literally 0.03 seconds "Your mother has abandoned you, but I shall raise you like my own!"

Cats will do this with their fucking owners, they just assume we're incompetent because we're not catching any critters, so they have to catch them for us so we don't starve.
Plus i'm pretty sure this is part of why many cats insist on joining us in the bathroom, they gotta keep watch while we're vulnerable taking a dump.
