That's akin to "hanging things up on the floor."
Mine did that yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't grab the cat or his "present" in time and it scurried under the sofa. I didn't hear any frantic racing around the house last night, so hopefully it managed to escape before Smudge came in and I closed the door.Rudi said:

LOL, your cat is named Smudge?
My BIL named our newly-adopted kitten Smudge WAY back in the early 1990's.
Our Smudge was a long-haired grey tabby, that my SIL's husband said "looked like he had been rolling around in a smudge-pot" - and the name stuck.
Smudge lived to be just over 20 years old before his passing in 2011.
I remember seeing a Peloton TV commercial a couple of years ago where the gal in the commercial says "let's DO this Smudge" to her long-haired tabby. I about fell out of my chair when I first saw that commercial!

Mine is all black. I think I named him Smudge because when I got him as a tiny orphaned kitten he was just a little "smudge."
This was taken a month or so after I brought him home, 8 years ago in Sept.
He's a little bigger now:

We also had a black cat, and he was just about a year older than Smudge.
We named him Shadrach - because before we married, my wife and her roommates had an all-black cat named Meshach.

Let me guess- they had been rescued from a fire?
Not exactly. But they both looked as if they had been through a fire - since they were both coal black.
Mine had ended WAY up a tree after a thunder and rainstorm. He and his mother had been living in the top of neighbour's barn after she had been left in the driveway a few months earlier and given birth to 4 kittens. All were quickly adopted out except Smudge, who was very skittery. After the storm the mother disappeared and he was stuck up the tree. We called the Fire Dept. but they couldn't reach him. While we were trying to figure out what to do, he JUMPED
We were aghast but he floated down, landed, shook his head as if to say, "Well, THAT was nasty!" and made a beeline back to the barn. I was worried about him and visited regularly and managed to win his confidence - helped by a red dot pointer, which he still loves to chase - and ended up adopting him as the neighbour wasn't really a cat person, and I had just lost a beloved grey tabby.
And the rest, as they say, is history. He's "the best thing that ever leapt out of a tree."

By now I'd have thought they'd all be tea colored.

If you said that came out of a US geography book, I'd believe it. Back in the day I used to watch Millionaire with future Mrs LVSteve#1 and her mother. When a geography question came up, they would chorus, "Uh-oh! Geography question, better ask the foreigner". I could understand it if this only applied to places outside of the continental US, but all too often I was the only one who knew the answers for stuff in California, where the ladies used to live!
