You may occasionally find that your cat will place their favorite toy in their food or water bowl. Cats feel that their food and water bowls are a safe and secure place. So when they bring their toy back to their food bowl they want to keep it in a safe place. It goes back to the theory that in the wild a cat would bring captured prey back to it’s home so it was safe from other predators who may want to steal their catch.
