No, that's unnatural.

Do you mean that I can't use "with", or have better alternatives to say it using "with"?

I'm not even sure what it's supposed to mean.

My book says:
Polyethylene, polystyrene, and vinyl bottles are now widely used, with most desirable weight savings.

The first sentence shows the factor and the "weight savings" is the result, isn't it?
So I just wondered if it's okay:
I didn't give him food (factor/reason)
with his jump on my back (result).
Is this difficult to be understood?

It's not difficult; it's impossible.

Ah, I guess the relationship is a bit weirder, in my cat's case.
