I have a cat named Sugar. Sometime she will take her paw and move her
cat toys near her bowl of moist food, dry food or bowl of water. I
don't know why she does this strange behavior. I wondered if it's
because it makes her feel secure or that she thinks her toy mouse is a
real pet that needs water or food. Could someone share with me as to
why my cat would behave this way with her toys. She's a lovely cat. She
is a long-haired domain cat with mysterious slanted eyes and a pink
nose. Her furr is so think and she has a thick furry tail.

One of life's great mysteries for me was why I would find Isis' toy mouse
floating in her water bowl.

Then I saw the light. After Isis eats wet food she buries what's left with
invisible dirt. She scrapes up the invisible stuff from the surrounding
carpet. Sometimes a cat toy gets caught in the crossfire and goes plop in
the nearby water dish.

If you keep an eye on Sugar I'll bet you find she is burying her food. I
asked out here once about why they do that. I was told, and it seems very
reasonable to me, that they bury their food so that the scent doesn't
attract the hyenas, jackals, and other wild beasts that roam free through
our houses.

Hehehehe.... I like that thought, that might explain why my little Princess
runs through the house like something is chasing her or she is chasing
something herself. She will be walking through the room, suddenly turn her
head as she senses something sneaking up on her and takes off running like
something was about to get her.

I've read theories about that behaviour that it has something to do
with "zones" that cats stumble through that zing them in the mind
and make them suddenly jump into the zoomies. They claim the
zones are nodal points in the magnetic field of the earth and other
oddities which affect the cats in some way or sense that we do not
have. Lots of cats do that, and people say they are seeing
"greeblins" and other mysterious entities too!

I call them 'googlie-mooglies'. Isis sees them at night when she gazes into
the air in my bedroom. I never see them but she does. I think they are
disembodied spirits or little no-see-um squiggly things. Without a Vulcan
human-cat mind meld I cannot prove or disprove this.

I have had more than one cat (male and female, both) who treated
their toy mouse as if it were their baby. If I took the toy mouse
and put it outside on the grass, they would anxiously run out
and bring it in and place it somewhere safe where naughty
hyoomaan couldn't get it. It was really cute. Maybe your
cat likes to keep her "baby" close to her territory.
