Moo's Midnight Antics

So if you've been reading the Cute for a while, you know I have a cat named Moo. He showed up on my back porch around Christmas last year... and the rest is history.

Well, Moo has this funny thing he does with his toys. Every day I "clean up" after the boys and put their toys in their toy basket. They know they're there and go on over and pick one out whenever they want to play. It's really, really cute.

Moo, however, doesn't like his toys there. He likes them all in one place, sure, but just not that place. So at night when I'm sleeping, he works very hard to rearrange things. One by one, he grabs a toy and carries them somewhere else to pile them.

I know he does it, but this morning's pile was especially cute -- it was like he brought them all over to me! Never mind my pajama pants and T-shirt (I sleep in a tank top and shorts, but keep these by my bed because it's freezing when I wake up)... but look at what a funny pile he made on them!

He brought me a whole bunch of toys and it was the first thing I saw when I got up. It was so cute, and such a sweet way to start the day. He can't make me breakfast or switch on the coffee, so he just does what he can to show me he loves me...

Cats! Gotta love 'em.

  6. Sparky has a full basket of toys, and one day I thought I'd give her a treat, and I sprinkled some dried catnip on them. She took every one out of her basket and rolled it around til all the catnip was off.
    How uncatly can you get?

  8. I had a kitty who thought it was his job to take anything that belonged to me and put it under the hall table - don't ask me why? When Zeke was a kitty everything had to be put in a corner of the living room - they tend to out-grow this behavior but it is funny while it lasts.

  10. Oh, that's funny! We had a cat who had a "nest" in our basement. It was an old wicker basket with old clothes in it and he would sleep in there. Little by little, he was adding things to his nest--toys, strings, paper, whatever he thought was great.

  11. That is just so sweet that he brought you his toys! Every night I throw Angel's toys downstairs and she brings a couple back up to the bedroom every night. Last night when we got into bed we even found a toy in between our pillows!
