Strange things for a cat


One of the strange things (and there are many) that our cat Lucy does, is to play with plastic milk bottle caps, which she chases when thrown, and then returns them to be tossed again. She does the same thing with plastic straws…go figure. Anyway, she has this habit of returning to the milk bottle caps used during our "toss and return" playtime, and then carrying them into the kitchen, where she drops them flat into the center of our dog's water bowl. Strange indeed. When I see them in the water bowl, I toss them out into the family room, and then later in the day I'll usually find them back in the water. Dogs usually are the ones who do things like this, and definitely not a cat. But, Lucy is not a normal cat.
