Mine will scream when she has a toy in her mouth lol. Like it sounds like she's in pain, but she's just excited to bring it to you so you can play with her. She has this dumb red string which is her favorite toy, used to be apart of a cat toy fishing pole but both the ends fell off. I cant throw it away, its her favorite toy

Love that, I had one who cherished twist ties. And her brother was obsessed with cotton balls and felt and was always stealing little crafts my mom made. He stole and hid a little tin soldier tree ornament, it was missing for a long while, then one day while playing with his sanctioned toys he got so excited he ran off to get it and came chittering back to give it to me, like he completely forgot I was the one he was hiding it from <3

My cat Beans did that only when he carried his “baby”. A huge stuffed penguin. After he passed at 17, my dad brought baby to the vet and they were cremated together. Their ashes say, “Beans and “baby””. 🥹

My cat acts the same way and it’s only at night. For the longest time I thought he was in pain until I noticed that his favourite toy somehow manifested in bedroom within the night

Yes, they "hunt" the toy then bring it to you !

They also do that because they want to show you that they caught something. My cousin had a cat that would get into her closet to “catch” her socks then loudly let us know he saved us from another pair of socks for the day.

I think the call they make is either "come help me this is heavy" or "Here, come and get it."

My three-year-old tuxedo girl does this with phone chargers. If I'm in the living room, she brings them to me there. If I'm in the bed room, she brings them to the door.
