Gross!

Jenks loves this feather toy, and he goes crazy if he's looking for it and can't find it (cause I hide it sometimes). He runs all over the house batting it around, he'll jump on the dresser and knock it off then chase it, carry it around in his mouth, etc. He loves the fucking thing but I think it's gross cause it looks like he's carrying around a dead bird! And he'll bring it on the bed and play with it (once when we were trying to sleep, both of us got scratched and that was when I hid it for the first time). Jenks loves it and I hate it, so I've tried to hide it in a couple places but he always goes HUNTING for this thing! Am I being unreasonable? I need input!!
