Willy gifts

[Randy_K]

My mom's cat lays his toys out in a pattern - always the same pattern - on the floor late at night. My mom picks them up in the morning putting them in his toy box but they will be back out the next morning.

I would love to know what's going on in his mind! That's the same wonder that you probably have at the "gifts" Willy brings you.

I can see a lot of intelligence in Willy's eyes especially when he is wearing his Sherlock Holmes hat. So I am sure there IS a plan- but it may be too high for humans.

ROTFL! How did I miss this! I love the various theories and I hope Willy has got it all together now. He really has done a great job collecting! Can't wait to hear what he's up to!

Willy must be surfing the net at night and found my posting.

He hasn't brought me a single gift in over a month. I didn't really enjoy him dropping heavy things on my head, but I kind of miss the the morning mystery.

Thought I'd revisit this 2-year-old thread.

Willy doesn't bring us these unique presents anymore. Kinda sad about that.

But, he does bring us regular (more normal) kitty toys which is fine. He drags Halo's ribbons around with him so they are usually in bed with us in the morning.

But, there is a distressing new development. Shrews! Live Shrews! He catches the ones that are dumb enough to climb into the outdoor cat pen and brings them to you in the middle of the night. He doesn't have the killer instinct so he drops them live on you.

He's quite disappointed when you don't appreciate his thoughtfulness. We've started closing the bedroom door at night so he can't bring them in. I miss having him sleep with us, but I don't miss running around the house screaming like a total girl in 3:00 in the morning.

This whole thread has me in stitches and I'm thinking Willy and Eve would be quite the pair

Eve spends her wakeful wee hours dragging all the toys she played with during the day up one and two flights of stairs to drop them at our heads while we sleep In the morning the big bed is rather crowded not only with a very sleepy kitty who monopolizes a king size bed but all her toys as well

She too has a habit of bringing creatures into the house her favourites are the salamanders who allow her to carry them around until one of us rescues them

Is it possible for a cat to be a hoarder????
