Kate

My cat has been bringing me leaves for three years. Not mice or birds like cats usually do, just leaves. She'll meow loudly until I acknowledge the leaf, then walk away satisfied. Started doing this when she was about two years old. I've tried researching it but can't find any explanation. My vet said some cats just have quirks. She's very particular about the leaves too - only certain shapes and sizes. Won't bring just any leaf. Has to meet her standards apparently. I have a collection of them in a drawer because I feel guilty throwing away her gifts. My husband thinks I'm ridiculous but he also says thank you to the cat when she brings them, so he's just as bad. She brought me a really nice oak leaf this morning, very symmetrical. I put it with the others.
