Cat toys at your feet

I saw a story on Nat Geo about a rescue dog in his new home who arranged his toys in very distinct patterns (ie: triangles, all one kind of toy, all face up or all face down, etc). They time- lapsed video of him doing this and sometimes it would take a very long time for him to make his choices, pick them up, set them down, pick them up again until he was happy with the end result. Spooky. I thought about this when I saw a picture a friend took of toys his cat would bring in and leave near the bed as he slept. Jack tries to do that too, but with real "toys" it's way more disgusting than intriguing. Here's a link to that nifty dog story. It still gives me comfort and the creeps at the same time.
