Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2004Pulling objects into the food bowl
OK, here's a weird one for me. Both of our cats have been known to pull just random objects near the food and water bowls into either one of these bowls. Sometimes it's bits of news paper, other times it's articles of clothing. Last night, a towel was pulled into the water bowl, which wicked all the water out. =O.o= I know how to solve this problem - keep things away from the food bowl. But my question is simple - any ideas as to why the girls do this?

I guess they are trying to cover up the food. Umm, why, maybe to hide it from each other? I'm sure there are plenty of other equally arguable reasons. >>OK, here's a weird one for me. >>Both of our cats have been known to pull just random objects near [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >it from each other?

The most obvious being: just to mess with Daddy's head!?! ;-) Mathew Butler to 2 kittens: Chablis & Muscat En Vino Veritas What clever & resourceful cats you have! www.mimiforsyth.com > OK, here's a weird one for me. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > I know how to solve this problem - keep things away from the food bowl. > But my question is simple - any ideas as to why the girls do this?

Grant puts his pom pom bowl in the dish. But that's because he gets distracted while playing by food and drops it in. I've had cats that like to cover the food and drag a sock or towel over it. I think it's like kitty saran wrap. > OK, here's a weird one for me. I can do one better in the weird department ;-) My cat Loki this morning spilled my coffee all over my desk. He then tried to bury it. What? Like I wouldn't notice? > Both of our cats have been known to pull just random objects near the food > and water bowls into either one of these bowls.

She would pull towels, newspaper, anything good for covering and put it over the food and water. I think she was trying to hide it from the other cats. Although she used to do it when she was the only cat too. Was she hiding it from me?

Not sure, but one night I went to bed hoping Sebastian would stop playing with the poor mouse he'd caught. The next morning when I came downstairs the mouse was thoroughly dead and in their water dish. I transfered it to the porcelein estuary and gave it a funeral at sea.

Maybe he's pretending to be a Big Cat. :-) Well, he's no tiny boy, plus his early life was spent under a dumpster in the urban wilds, but of the dozen or so mice he's caught, this is the only one which ended up in the drink.
