Haha, my Haïku does the same. Sometime he will meow from the other room, and I can assure you he gives me the saddest and most desperate meow you can imagine. Of course I always run to the oteher room, just in case, and then he is calmly, I'll even say proudly, sitting on the bed or the armchair, just asking for some attention !

LOL! Ivan used to do that with an old mini paint roller. I think they think of the toys as their kittens.

Such an odd behaviour...every once in a while Claire will be in another room and start up with the most mournful nonstop wailing you've ever heard in your life. When I go to check out the problem there never is one, but what I always find is Claire lying Sphinx like on the floor with this ratty old mouse toy between her front legs
