The final possibility is that the cat is bored and makes up little games for itself. I think this last is the correct answer. Flicker doesn't try to eat these odd items, she just carries them around until she gets ready to eat and then naturally drops them into the food dish.
So this afternoon I bought her an intricate cat toy with lots of feathers and ribbons to cheer her up. And it sure beats the price of taking her to the cat psychiatrist and trying to dig her kittenhood traumas out of her.
