My Marsha loves to hunt as well; her bounty consists of her stuffed catnip mouse, my dad's socks, or mom's knee-hi stockings. Like Xena (dani's cat), Marsha also does the plaintive, low-pitched meow (sometimes while holding the object with her mouth) but when you go check her, she's fine! We think it's her way of saying, "Hey, I'm a productive member of this household too!"
