I'm not asking if this is normal, I just want to know if it is common. I recently adopted an oriental short hair female kitten. Beyond being a very sociable cat (which is caracteristic of the breed), she has a very funny habit. She will take a toy in her mouth and actually GROWL if you try to take it from her. And it is not aggressive !!! She is just playing !
Any of you people have seen this with your cat ?

This is normal. Especially in females, because it is in their blood to hunt food for their kittens. She is showing you that this is her prize. If you have ever seen a cat catch a mouse, then try to take the mouse from the cat....it is the same behavior.

extra effective 0.5 and childrens lengthy hair! Nature created cats of all varieties and sizes, and there are some tiny ones, and massive ones. And imagine of of it this way - it quite is from that extra effective 0.5 and childrens cat that *all* breeds developed, optimal of domestics have similarities with purebreeds. the similar challenge is going for personality - those significant **** generalizations practice to many cats (and bigger than various of them describe my Siamese, LOL!). The tufted ears are were given right here upon on many cats - my DSH tiger cat has nicely-tufted ears, and there is now not a Maine **** bone in his body. similar challenge with the furry ft. Even on the kind of youthful age, a purebred MC has a *critically* fluffy tail, and an more desirable massive construct. on an identical time as it truly is a danger to declare that he's were given some MC in his historic previous, he's quite an quite staggering searching extra effective 0.5 and childrens lengthy haired cat.

well before you adopted the cat she could of been near dogs and because she's a kitten she'll learn a lot of stuff from any thing she See's. my cat acts like a dog but when he was a kitten we had a dog so it's probably just that. without it's mother it just learns from dogs. (when me and my mum go for walks my cat follows as.)

Don't try to take away a toy from a child. Cats do like anything taken away from them.

Very common to all cats pure bred or not, and yes she's just playing.
We have four cats who are DSH and were all stray at one time in their lives.
Three females and one male and all four of them do this.
The male and one of the females will even play fetch with you.

Our 8 month old kittie has a similar dog-like behavior too. Well, more of a trick tho. I throw a ball, she catches it and brings it back to me. We never taught her that.
It's fun tho!

My cat does that as well. She also 'barks' at birds and other animals. But then again, she also scales the wall on her side.
