Puppy or Prey?

We went over to grandma and grandpa briefly. Grandma showed mum something and asked if she could throw it away. What? It was a one of my Christmas presents from last year. A glorious little chirping bird, all fluffy and feathery, that sings different tunes at the slightest touch! I know I loved it, but it was taken from me for unclear reasons. Mum claims it's a cat toy, but I don't think it is...

So I said can I have it back please and mum decided to give me another go. I just love it! I carried it around with me ALL evening, staying cosy with it. And I did NOT chew it! I am trying to figure out what exactly it is still. Mum drew a line when I brought it to bed at night time, claiming it would wake us up with its constant chirping.
