Alicat's story about her kitty's favorite game with the laundry basket in the Behaviour Forum inspired me. I would like to know what some of your kitty's favorite games are.
Trent is a very playful kitty, so this list of his favorite games could be long (I'll keep it short). He likes playing fetch with his football (little brightly colored faux leather football with metallic streamers), but generally has us throw it, runs after it and comes back without it and looks at us like "OK, throw another one." Not a real good fetcher. He also likes to box his toys. If we hold one a little above him, especially the football by the streamers, he will hit it with his front paws like a boxing bag.
Ophelia is generally pretty reserved, so it takes a lot for her to "lose her little composure." She has one game that only Mommy can play (Daddy doesn't do it right). I had some craft cord left from making Christmas ornaments, which Trent found and decided it was their toy. There is probably a good 4 feet left on the spool. Ophelia will beg for me to stand up and whip it back and forth for her to chase it. As soon as I grab it she will run over to the spot that we play with it. (Just so everyone knows, they only play with the cord with adult supervision so they don't ingest any)
What quirky games do your cats have???
