Our Housekeeper Kitty
Pemberton is a Short Haired American Tabby, who will be 2 years old in mid August. She was adopted from the North Shore Animal League here in NYC on April 7 just a year ago. She is a neutered female. We adore her and she has settled into our family beautifully. But, aside from eating like every meal is the last one she will ever get (which I have already commented upon in this forum), she has one other extremely odd habit. She likes to play "housekeeper". Virtually every morning we find one of many kitty blankets scattered around the apartment, usually near a closet door. We leave a nice selection of these on the kitty day beds and other napping sites that we know our cats like to frequent during the day. Pemberton seems to feel that they should be "put away" dragging them to the closet doors (or nearby) so that I can fold them and.....put them away!! No matter how often they are put back (daily) into their original places for the enjoyment of the cats, there is always one or two to be found near a closet door each morning!! This is not an annoying habit or a dangerous one in any way, shape or form, merely amusing. I thought that others in the group might find it funny too--or perhaps their kitties are doing the same thing!! Best Wishes, Peg "Scientists' say intelligent life sprang from the sea. Really intelligent life returns to the sea every now and then." |

She then always to puts it where she always sleeps Then she's just instantly bored with it apparently, it's quite strange! Nice story. |

Really intelligent life returns to the sea every now and then." They are all so weird. Two of my cats finish eating and walk away. The third one has to turn over all of their food bowls. Since two are too heavy to easily turn over, she will pull anything on the floor onto the bowls to cover them up. None of them drag their blankets to the closet though. |

A dear departed girl kitty of ours used to drag socks out of drawers and pile them up or bring them to us. I asked the vet about it and he said she was acting as if they were her kittens, and just because she was spayed didn't mean her motherly instincts were gone. Your cat is probably moving her kittens (blankets) to a secure space (closet). |

Many thanks for the suggestion--that could well be the explanation!! She has been particularly active with her "kittens" today, moving a total of 6 blankets from the kitty day bed to 2 different closets, and several day bed toys to other doorways in the apartment!! Blankets always end up in front of closet doors, but toys are more usually left in front of room doors!!
