I have a cat that plays fetch. He loves these little sparkle balls that he’ll chase when thrown, then bring back and drop in front of you to do it again. Never seen another cat do that.
My cat will play fetch with those little sparkle balls too. But she absolutely will not drop it at my feet. Instead, she’ll drop it a yard away. Always. Then I have to go get it to continue the game. Which I do, because I enjoy the game.
You have your cat well-trained. And my cat has me well-trained.
Had a Russian Blue that would do that.
