So my wife and I were talking about what we know about cats and animals and since the rescuers said the cat had been hunting, we assume that the cat ate - what we do not know, I assume that, since kitty stayed with the woman, kitty probably brought the woman food. The question is, did she recognise it as food and did she eat it? Might make a good Disney film, perhaps she could sell the rights for a lot of money... "Mightycat" saves the day - oooohhh
Mightycat is on the way... (sung to some obscure toon)

I can see where the cat would want the comfort and safety of the woman especially at night so the symbiosis is set up - if the woman did eat, the cat would probably continue to play its role and hunt.

If you are ever lost with a group and a cat and you listing the available skills, remember the cat is the worlds most efficient killer.
