What cat other than Perrine is a candidate for cutest cat in Baltimore? Or were you just trying to say that it's theoretically possible that a cuter cat exists in Baltimore?
Mocha brings toys to us when she wants to play, but she learned that on her own. I don't know how to train a cat to bring toys. In general, my only successes in training cats involved the liberal application of wet food or treats.
Perrine may well have hunted birds before you took her in, but I think cats must have some instinct about birds. When we adopted Mocha from a friend of a friend, she came to us declawed. As far as we know, she has never been an outdoor kitty. She's still very, very interested when she can see and hear birds outside the window, though.
misia has an adorable, tine, shorthaired., leopard-spotted cat who is in Perrine's league, cuteness-wise. Further observation is required before the title is awarded.
I'm pretty sure the interest in birds is instinctual, but according to what I've read, hunting them successfully is a learned specialty acquired by a minority of cats. My guess about Perrine is due to her knack with airborne toys, specifically ones moving in certain ways.

Then again, what I've read could be wrong.

I'm reaching across Perrine to type this and trying not to wake her.
