Check Out Funny Sleepy Kitty Cats Videos

While I was looking for some pictures of cats I found this photo of a cat with a very very very weird toy. Which reminds me. Have you ever found any toys for cats in you’re cat’s food or water bowl? My friend is going crazy over it. Her funny cats are putting everything in the water bowl. I had two tabby cats who used to stash their toys like this, but lucky for me they were putting them in their bed.

Why do our pet cats do it? Well, the way they see it the food area is part of their territory. One that usually doesn’t change very much from day to day, since there’s always water and food waiting for them there. Your pet cats are putting their favorite toys away in a “safe” place. Just like wild cats bring their prey back to a nest to hide it from other predators.

Some cats will put away their toys when they are done playing with them, some just do it when there’s a visitor in the house to “hide” the toy in their safe place. You can try putting your cat’s toys in a small basket near the food area and eventually they will start doing it for them selves. We are training my friends Siamese cats to do this now. Hopefully there’ll be no more wet toys every day over there.

“Anything on the ground is a cat toy. Anything not there yet, will be.”

Have you ever found toys for cats on the floor of your room in the morning or maybe a whole mouse or a bird ( in case you’re cat is allowed to go out )? If you have, I have to congratulate you, now you know your pet cats love you. Yes I know finding a dead animal next to your bed in the morning is disgusting but in your cats eyes there’s no greater present it can give you. My funny cats used to bring little birds, mice, lizards one of them even brought a snake freaking my mom and my grandma out of this world.

It’s in their nature to hunt and just like wild cats they are bringing their prey to their den where it’s safe to eat. Of course domestic cats rarely eat their prey, but just because they don’t have to hunt doesn’t mean they dont have the instinct. One of the reasons your pet cats bring you these little “presents” is that cats consider you their family and want to share with you. Most of the time grown up cats are trying to teach you how to hunt or to make sure you have fresh food. Just like they do with their own kittens.

Don’t shout at your cat or trow it’s present when it can see you. It’s a show of trust and recognition and your action can confuse and disappoint it. Just thank her for a present by petting her once and trow it away when you cat is not looking.
