Stimulating them with other or new toys might help resolve the issue, if it is an issue at that point.

One that most folks are probably aware of is when a cat brings you gifts. Well, “gifts”.It goes without saying that cats have instincts to satiate and this one is all about hunting down small prey. And they bring it back to you as a sign of gratitude or because they want attention for this generosity.
