My cat Seren(dipity) does the same thing--that is, carries her soft fuzzy sparkle balls about the house in the evening while mewling to announce the deed. The behavior seems to mimic that of cats that hunt and kill prey, and then announce their success. Just as outdoor cats may bring a trophy mouse or moth to owners for admiration, perhaps Ling Ling shows off her prowess but uses the fur toys. Some behaviorists speculate cats bring prey animals back to their home to snack upon later, while others suggest felines look on humans as inept kittens and seek to teach us how to hunt. In any event, I’d suggest you praise Ling Ling for a job well done.
