Why is my female cat carrying toys, rolling, and meowing loudly?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 months and 21 days old | 7.94 lbs

Coco holds her childhood's plushie toy in her mouth, climbs or rolls around on the chair or on the floor, sleeps with her belly facing upwards, as though broken and keeps talking rather murr murring under her breathe. Not that it's an issue but can you explain this behaviour? It's funny how she keeps talking!

This is all perfectly normal behaviour of a happy cat that feels secure and loved. However , since your cat is not spayed, there is also a chance that she is in heat and therefore is looking for a mate. If you do not want kittens, I suggest you have her spayed, as she will keep cycling until she mates.
