My cat sometimes brings toys because it wants to play. That doesn't happen too often, though
My cat has figured out how to pantomime chasing the dot as his way of asking me to break out the laser pointer.
video proof required
my other cat is extremely ADHD and he brings me toys many times a day. he runs from the other side of the apartment screaming with the toy in his mouth and then sits next to me until i throw that toy. also if we're away for several hours he delivers toys on our bed.
My one cat fetches things like 80% of the way. Sure drops them a meter and half in front of me every single time
Time to get your steps in, human!
I find it sweet when a cat brings toys to the bed, mine does it sometimes, too, even though it doesn't play on the bed, because we discourage this 😅
This is a daily occurrence for me. Normally she brings it to the couch, but if I'm late leaving my desk for lunch she will absolutely bring the toy into my office.
My older cat tells me when it's time to get up, when it's bedtime, etc. He woke me up and is currently content with me being on my phone as long as I don't close my eyes and go back to sleep. In about 20 minutes though he'll decide it's time for me to get up and he'll herd me into the bathroom.
