Plenty of cats play with toys. My cat a long time ago had a toy rat which he would play with and "catch", only to bring it to me to present as a prize. Thank you for bringing me a dirty toy you've been chewing on. But if I threw it back, he would resume playing and when the hunt was done either he would bring it to his bed to sleep with, or bring it to me. Only thing was when he had the thing in his mouth and he started yelling about it, it sounded like the cat was choking and dying. I told my wife the first time it happened it scared the shit out of me. I came running to save the cat, only for it to sheepishly look at me what my problem was. She laughed at first, till a few days later it happened to her. She went running to save him and then couldn't stop laughing.
Mine dragged a mesh bag full of onions out of the kitchen last night and shredded the bag. Onion peel everywhere and he ran up to me this morning making that cute little mew like I know I fucked up but you can see why I did it, Right?
That hunting scream they do is something else...had a cat that had ONE and only one mouse toy a couple years after he got it, killed it one night triumphantly...then the next night same thing. He's been killing the same ratty mouse toy with a broken wand for years. You just find it laying somewhere new and knew he got it again.
Usually he could get treats out of the deal.
My cat kills actual mice, then eats the front half of them and leaves the back half on my pillow next to my head while I'm asleep. I'm totally used to this now, but when she first started doing it I would wake up and scream like the movie mogul in The Godfather who finds his favorite horse's head in his bed.
She is at least nice enough to lick the back half clean first.
