4. Ember used to almost do that as a kitten.

When I threw a toy, she would carry it almost back to me, but not quite all the way. She doesn't do it any more.

She also did something that was very funny. She was possessive of her toys to the point that, when she had one in her mouth, she would growl if I got too close to her. But then she would drop it for me to pick up and throw again. It was like she WANTED a reason to growl and show that she could be tough, but then switched to, "OK, changed my mind. Go ahead and take it to throw."

Sometimes she would hop onto my desk when I was on the laptop, carrying a toy in her mouth and then growl as soon as she got there because I was too close. I was like, "Hey, YOU brought it to ME, so why are you growling?" She just loved the chance to play tough kitty, but then give it up. "Just kidding, mom."
