Oh my goodness he is a beautiful boy. And, I love the cuddle bugs picture.

I researched why they put things in their water dish awhile ago on Google because my cat Mack does this. Having 4 cats I wasn't quite sure WHO was doing it until I caught Mack in the act one day. The hot pink fuzzy mouse had turned the water a pretty color but I was concerned about the cats drinking it.

Anyway, several places agreed that they do this because they feel the water dish is a safe place for their toys. I also find twisties in the water occasionally and I really do not even know where he finds them but it concerns me because I am always afraid someone will swallow one.

Hopefully your kitty grows out of it but unfortunately, my Mack is still doing it and he is no longer a kitten.
