Apollo has taken to drowning his toys. We bought him a croaking metallic fabric frog, and he put it in his waterbowl. We thought that was rather cute, all the while hoping the water won't rust the croaking sound mechanism, since frogs belong in water. Then he did it to a toy mouse, and a toy rat, and then an abstract cloth triangular tassle cat toy thing. This morning while Stan was getting ready for work, I felt a cat on the bed, so I reached my hand out to him. I was surprised to feel sopping wet cat feet. I felt further and felt this really soggy fuzzy wet mess that wasn't part of the cat. It freaked me out a bit, mostly because it is a WET thing on the covers in a 60 degree house in the middle of a -30 degree windchill morning. I flung it. Later today he brought me another drowned toy mouse.
Odd cat. Never had one do that before.

Cats do odd stuff sometimes. They also have a very good memory, despite what some scientists says. I once fed one of the cats something he didn't like and he has refused to eat anything from the same bowl ever after.
They're also stubborn. Cat jumps into plants. Human sprays cat with squirt bottle. Cat runs away and then jumps back into plants. Human sprays cat again. Rinse. Repeat. X 10. Either that or the cat really likes to get squirted.
I think when Apollo brings you wet mice you should thank him and tell him how yummy they are. He's bringing you food because he wants you to survive.
