Why does my cat do this?



Why does he keep putting his... whatever it's called, in the doorway of his litterbox? If we move it away, he puts it right back later.

Is this at all normal?

...That's.. an interesting litter box o_o

And it seems like just catty behavior to me. He likes it there, and be damned if it's gonna be anywhere else.

are you saying that your cats fine sense of decor is not to your likeing?

kidding, i have no idea, maybe it's just your cats oddballness. I'll ask a friend who knows more about cats.

That's an awesome litter box! And what cat is normal.

Seeing as mine jumps on my tits and farts at people - I can safely say NO CAT IS NORMAL.

Considering that I dunno much about cats litterbox-behaviours, since my Selina more than often rather goes outdoors than using her box, neither I have a direct answer to you.
If Dante was to use human logic, maybe he'd thinks his toy is dirty somehow and wants you to wash/clean it... but I've never seen a cat thinking that logically, so maybe it's just nutty cat-behaviour after all.

Yyyeah, that's pretty normal screwball behavior for a cat. Look at the way he's even looking off innocently in that pic.

Think of it from his point of view.
You read in the loo, right? Well, he can't read. So this is what he does. How could you be so shockingly ignorant of his needs? For shame.
...all dickery aside, Cats are really nuts about things like that. My cat likes to nip before she plays, but just to see what you'll do. Weird.

Maybe it's feline feng shui.

One of our cats used to do that with things like stuffed mice toys.
We pretty much took it as him saying, "This is a piece of crap. It belongs in a litterbox."

My guess is that he's either doing it to claim it as his own (as the litterbox is his territory, and his scent is probably smothering it), or he's presenting the body of his defeated catdancer foe to you as a gift.
Or he's nuts. Either way, really.

It's a cat quirk. He wants it to be there, and it's a game to him to move it back when you try to remove it. You're lucky; my cats quirks tend to be violent. ^^;
