hi, my coon is now 14 months old, she used to carry my socks around the house and we thought she may be pregnant,but she wasn't, we have since had her spayed, but now she has moved on to bring things home, so far we have had, a pair of ladies socks, 2 slippers, a large slice of ham and a gents sock! why is she doing this? our other coon, she is two and a half and brings home the normal birds and mice, I am begining to worry about what my neighbours are thinking about things going missing, does anyone know why she is doing it?

Hi,

That is so funny, not sure why she is doing it really,does you present you with these gifts lol,maybe she is just trying to impress you with her retrieval skills.I am sure if your neighbours were bothered about it they would let you know.It sounds like she just likes collecting things.Sorry I can't be more helpful, have you got any pics of her.

Best wishes

Jomall

I would imagine the neighbours would appreciate their belongings back though!

I would think they were at the most risk from being carried off!

There are a lot of anecdotal stories of MCs retrieving things. My male MC likes to carry around a screwed up 3lb flour bag but the female shows no interest.

Thinking about it these cats were bred for snowy conditions - maybe they carried their food to their lair. Do the Norwegian Forest Cats retrieve too?

She's just bringing back presents for you!

I can't give you any advice.

My cats have brought me mice, birds, rats and a hen. At least yours brings you useful presents. I think she's rather sweet.
