I wish I could train one of my cats to clean up after himself by picking up his own toys. I'm tired after work and don't feel like doing it. I try to keep them all contained in the area under his cat tree, but they are usually scattered from one end of the house to the other when I get home. I have to have lots of toys available for him because he is super hyper, even at two years old, and will find other (destructive) ways to amuse himself otherwise. It usually involves knocking items from dressers, shelves, etc., to the floor.
It is kind of cute to watch him play though. He likes to run through all of the toys and scatter them. Sometimes he will sort through them by picking up and tossing other toys aside until he finds the one he wants to play with. He usually takes one toy and runs all over like crazy with it, and then leaves it in a random spot and comes back for another one to do the same thing. If I am at home, he will keep bringing me one toy after another to play "fetch" with. He is just like a dog in that regard.
The DirectTV guy came over one day, and when he was hooking up a new receiver (or whatever you call the box), he kept pulling out toys behind the TV that had gotten tossed up there. The TV is up pretty high.
I would like to teach both of my cats to sweep the floor and wipe their feet off on the track mat before leaving the litter box area as well. They vigorously cover their poop and kick a lot of the litter out of the box while doing so. They then step over the track mats I have in front of their litter boxes and shake their feet off on the floor.
