Okay so I've heard of dogs being food aggressive or toy aggressive. Well my kitten is toy aggressive. he walks around the house with his toy in his mouth growling at everyone. He'll purposely go get the toy come find me just to growl at me. Once I take the toy away he's back to "happy" kitten. Its really odd.

I found the text in this book spot on, but the illustrations aren't helpful at all. Good over all book

This mat caught my eye because of its size and texture, which traps fine litter rather well. It's large enough for jumbo litterboxes, which is also a plus. It's not quite as easy to clean as a...

This scoop was a freebie with some clumping litter I bought last year, and I like it so much that I've bought a second one. It's perfect for fine clumping litter, which it sifts very thoroughly....

toy aggressive cat
Also wanted to mention its not easy taking the toy back...he clings on to it and tries to smack me. That's where I got the toy aggressive idea.

He's likely right around that age where he'd be learning what prey was and how to kill it. Feather and real fur type toys commonly cause this reaction. He thinks his toy is prey and HIS. Possessiveness over a kill is normal for a domestic cat (and every other cat other than lions) - they only tend to share their kills under specific situations.
Leave him be. He'll get bored soon enough or distracted. If you really need to get that toy away from him simply distract him with something else and he'll drop it. If you try to forcefully take it from him you'll only rile him up more.

Thanks...that's what I thought he was doing. I do leave him alone cuz I figured its good for him to "hunt" I only take the toy away when he starts getting aggressive toward my boxer...she's a sissy and doesn't know what to do. Haha

My Elliott is very much the same way and always has been. He is a former feral and very much the hunter of The Nifty Nine.
One of my fosters, Waldo, is also very toy posessive and he tells all of the other fosters off it they even look at him when he has a toy.
