I have an 8 year old cat named KC. She has 2 odd behaviours that she exhibits that I cannot figure out why she does it.
First, she has these small stuffed toys that are dragons purchased from ikea years ago while she was a kitten, 4 of them. These drsgons are the only stuffed toys she will play with. But it is what she does with them. She constantly drops them in her water bowl. She isn't flinging them around and they fall in, I have witnessed her actually carry one over and drop it in. We have also found them in the toilet!
Second, she carries them around at night time and howls with them in her mouth. It can go on for 10 or 15 minutes, and only at bedtime when we have settled in for the night. When she is done she usually brings one into my bedroom and leaves it ont he floor or brings iton the bed with her.
The dragons are members of our family now and it is fun to find them in weird spots. We will at times do things such as line them up on the stairs before we leave the house and the see how far they get moved while we are gone.
The only thing i can think of is she is carrying them around at night like she has hunted them or something, but the dropping in the water bowl has me completely stumped. I fished one out of the bowl befreo i sat down to type this.
