We adopted two older kittens in June. They are about 11 months old now and both females. This particular female has had kittens prior to being spayed (she was a stray). She jumps onto the kitchen counter and takes the sponge out of the holder in the sink. She either brings it to me or to places in the house where I spend a lot of time (although sometimes it's just in the middle of the living room or somewhere). She doesn't eat it or chew it or play with it. Just now she dropped it outside the office door then began meowing several times as if to alert me! Do you think she's bringing me a "gift"? I soaked the sponge in bleach water earlier today thinking that maybe it smelled or something. Anyway, she's super cute, but it's only the sponge. She doesn't do this with anything else.

Ideas? Speculation?
