Does anyone else have feral kitties that do funny things compared to regular housecats? Or is mine just a little odd?

My cat Astrid was brought inside in January and we are still getting used to each other, so I see the evidence of things she's done more often than I see her.

She likes to drag fabric things around. I gave her a couple of shirts with my scent on them that inch around the room day to day. At one point she decided one particular blanket needed to come off the bed.

She also does interesting things with her toys. At first she was just dragging her favorites around, and I'd find them in the food bowls or tucked away in different places. But lately she's started...sorting them? One day they were all in neat little piles of three. Another day all similar toys were grouped together into two piles - one of flat-ish, fish/mouse shaped toys and one of small round/roundish toys. She's also had all her favorites lined up in a perfect row before, oriented the same direction.

Smart, but very particular cat.

What are funny things your ferals do? Or is my Astrid just a quirky cat?

That's pretty cool.  Astrid could be an Internet sensation.

We have a former feral who calls her babies every night, while she gathers up two or three stuffed toys (always the same ones).  She will call and chortle and whine until she has them all together.  Then she abandons them and comes to bed!
