MY CAT PUTS ANYTHING SHE CAN FIT IN HER MOUTH AND CARRY TO HER CAT BOX. It bothers me at times because she puts clean clothes in there or my mail... the funny thing she puts in there is her pooper scooper and literally pushes her "scoop" onto the scooper.. if this is a behavioral issue please someone let me know... she has put important stuff into that box of hers.

cat does the same thing by: Anonymous
My cat steals socks and meows while she presents them to us too. We asked someone about it and they said she was miming the behavior of bringing food to her kittens. The unique meow is to call us for dinner?

Cat gifts by: Anonymous
We have a colony of feral cats outside and we frequently find gifts in front of the door
where we feed them. mostly we get pine cones,
but lately we get small gloves or mittens and child's slipper and the best was a pair of thong ladies underpants. We have gotten a torn up fast food bag with an empty french fry container. Small pieces of wood and other material.
One morning there was a small plush toy (a purple bear). We think it is the leading male cat doing it since he has been very friendly with us and allows us to pet him. We are thinking of opening a lost and found for the neighborhood.
The grossest thing was a dead chewed up mouse.
One of indoor cats frequently brings one of her toy mice to bed and leaves it in the same spot next to me. She meows and leaves.
I have read that this is a way of contributing to the family food or it has to do with trying to teach us to hunt. Or they are showing off their hunting skills for your approval.
Somehow it boils down to thinking you are one of the family.

Cat brings presents or kitten practise? by: Angela
I've had several female cats who did this with underwear...mostly rolled up socks. Fetishes aside I always thought it had something to do with kitten carrying. It's almost as though the cat is pretending to be a mother but knows the item in her mouth isn't really a kitten which is why she drops it when she gets to you. The toothpaste lid I have no idea about that one though!

I am not sure why your cat does this, but maybe it stems from a Christmas event when she saw each of you getting something from under your tree, and since there is not a tree in the house all year long, she has decided that the bed is the same thing.
