Toys in the food, water bowls & litter box

Occasionally, I will find a furry mice toy in the food and water bowls and sometimes buried in the litter boxes. Does anyone have any theories why?

It is just something that some cats do. They like to play and I know sometimes their nails get stuck on a fuzzy mouse and as a result they shake thier paw and the mouse going flying into weird places

My boys do this, and I actually seen them. They drop the item and then start to "Bury" it, like they would bury poop in the litter box, even tho there is nothing but air to bury it under!

They also "bury" their food bowl when they have done eating.

odd boys!

My siamese, Possum, always takes his babies (stuffed animal toys) to the food bowl. I always thought he was trying to feed them. I never have found any in the litter box though.

I've seen mine do it too. Seems odd to put a toy in the litter box!
