why does my mancoon cat put toys in water dish.

Answer by Kate
Umm good question and one I'm sure many cat owners would like answered too. Even my cats will do this from time to time.

i don't think thee is a definite answer but it could have something to do with possession. ie the water bowl is theirs and so they are taking their toy or prey to the water bowl to say this is mine too.

Also i think sometimes it is an accident. i have watched my cat play with his toy and as he throws it around it ends up in his water bowl.

he looks lovely, i love the Maine coon breed, I used to have a ginger tom Maine coon and he was a great big gentle boy.

best wishes Kate
