I'm more concerned about the "toys" which our cats bring in from the garden when they've discovered entertaining diversions like a nest of mice.I don't, however, have a problem understaing their psychology, Iterele.
As a matter of interest, when did your cat develop an interest in "ginger teddies" and the like? That doesn't chime with anything I've seen over the years about a cat's natural interests. Have you been sending him to one of these progressive schools?
