Crying carrying a toy

Beauty's got a black rat/mouse thing. She'll cuddle up to it and play with it a little but she won't carry it around.

She used to have some jingley balls but she used to get frightened of the noise they made so I gave them to the rescue centre.

Much likes to bring us clothing. Sweatshirts, sweaters, anything that is left where she can get it. And she tells us about it the whole time she's dragging it down the stairs. A couple of days ago, she was dragging a pair of my husband's sweatpants out of the bathroom. They caught on the door and my 9 pound cat had pulled them so hard that they got wedged under the door and DH had a really hard time getting the door open and the sweatpants unwedged.

She tried her best

Our first cat, Callie, always trilled when she came downstairs with her prize. She liked to get socks out of DH's sock drawer, they were folded together and turned inside out, making a nice bundle. She was so proud of herself when she presented it to him. We never knew if it was a baby, a hunt trophy....or she just liked socks! Sometimes she was found meowing in the drawer with it closed, we didn't know she was in there hunting.

Rosie and Jack make that trill noise as well when they come for some attention. That's seems to be another thing he's copied from her?!

Awwww, trills make my heart melt.

2 of mine do that, both females. the 'Little Girl' just carries a toy around and it sounds like she is crying. the tabby, Goonie, drops her toy at my feet and she wants you to throw it so she can play fetch. and she squeaks when she does it. she never meows.

Villy will catch one of her toys, and then she will cry and cry, or meow and meow, more and more loudly, until I go and see her. I always make a big fuss of her and tell her how clever she is to catch a toy.

Roxy hasn't done that yet, but she is definately becoming more vocal, just like Villy.

One thing that Roxy has copied from Villy is holding up her paw when she wants to go out. Villy has arthritis, and to make us feel sorry for her when she wants to go out, or wants some tuna, she hold up one of her paws.Roxy has started holding up her paw when she wants something, but there's nothing wrong with her.

Our sweeties do things that just make us weak with cuteness.

Awww now how cute is that!

If Beauty wants anything she'll go and stand staring at the fridge door, as if it will open by itself if she looks at it long enough!

She will then gaze at me and go back to staring at the fridge!

My BF's rainbow cat would do that. He used whole body language to communicate. He would sit in front of the cabinet where the food was and just STARE at it, then at us... back at the cabinet.... it was sooo cute!

Forrest does that too. He hurt his leg a while back and it took a few days to heal. He learned quick that if he holds up his leg and looks pitiful that he can get a lot more attention than normal. Now he does it all the time when I'm working and he's trying to get my attention.

I'm so easily trained.

Gizmo does this all the time. His favorite toy is a stuffed alligator and he'll usually do it in the early morning. Sometime between 5am and 6am, he'll carry the alligator to the hallway, then start up with this really sad meow. Wakes me up every time but then again maybe that the whole point.

I woke up this morning and there were 5 of their toys in the bedroom. It had to be Jack because Rosie only carries a toy downstairs. And twice tonight he gave out the same cry and came down with toys in his mouth, so cute

I gave him some treats each time and told him he was a good boy, so i'm going to try and have the camera ready next time i hear him

Yes... pictures.
Jack

Yay! Pictures of Jack!

I got one of him at the weekend So i'll post it in furpics on friday evening

Serenity does this very same thing, Susan! She'll also do this if she catches herself an insect! "Look what I caught, Mommy!" She's so precious! I always tell her what a good girl and champion huntress she is!

My little tortie does this. But with a twist. I've bought them all sorts of mice, fuzz balls, balls (both with and without bells) and squeaky toys.

what does she play with? Rubber bands and twist ties to garbage bags. Rubber bands are her favorite and she'll prance around crying like that then drop it for me. I praise her and give it back and she squirts away all happy.
