The cat never sees you eat and is concerned. The dog carries his food out to you for roughly the same reason, he wants you to know he is eating and you should not worry about him. It's a social thing many animals do.

My ex wife got really pissed when I would take a bite and thoughtfully place it in front of her on the floor.
When cats bring you food, mice, birds, etc. it's because they think you're an especially stupid cat, but they like you enough to keep trying to take care of/teach you.
This has been debunked, unfortunately, male cats do this too, and they don't teach kittens to hunt.
It is believed now, they simpltdo this because they want to bring their prey to their core territory. Which is also where you are.
