Fun With Buffy
I always know when she wants to play because she starts batting golf
balls around. I sometimes rue the day I ever gave her a golf ball to play with. There are cat toys all over my living room. A couple of plush toys filled with catnip (Velcro closures, refillable. I store dried catnip in the freezer). Little fluffy mousies. Crinkly mylar balls. When she really wants to play I get out the fishing wand toy with a mousie on the end of it. I don't have to do much more than wave it around and she's bouncing all over the place. She tracks that mousie... and also manages to grab one of the other toys on the floor. She's a bit greedy. She wants the mousie on the wire but also that fluffy toy and the mylar ball. She's a spoiled rotten little cat. I love her to pieces. :) Hey, I don't ask her to jump through the carpeted kitty barrel (cat furniture). She just does it. It's cute as can be. It's not required. She got tired halfway through this play session and curled up in the kitty barrel. I put the fishing wand toy away and now she's curled up on one of the chairs in the living room. Jill |

Jill We have a cloth tunnel, about 1.5 metres long and 25cm wide, with open ends and a spiral spring running along its length to keep it open. There are two small window holes in the sides. Trixie in particular just loves to play in this thing. She jumps over it, runs through it, and sometimes takes a running jump into it so that it then slides along the wood floor with her inside it. She loves to wait inside the tunnel near one of its windows; if I roll the ping pong ball past, she'll stick her paw out and bat it back at me. She'll also hide inside the tunnel near the end and ambush my ankles when I walk by. Floki on the other hand is a serious little kitten. He just watches Trixie playing with a bemused look on his face. |

Jill Why shouldn't she be a "spoiled rotten little cat"? I was being facetious. She is completely spoiled compared to how she was when she came to live with me. :) Sootie has her toys in the corner of the sitting room but her cloth tunnel is by the tv. when she plays chase the laser light I move that to the middle of the room and she likes to run back and forth through it in the chase. For some reason Buffy is not at all interested in the laser pointer. My cat Persia (RB) was quickly bored by it. then suddenly, she'll have had enough and asks to go outside where she sits and watches whatever she can see going on out there. Judith When I'm in the TV room that's *my* relaxation and read a book room. No cat toys. She joins me in there and curls up on me and gets scritches while I read and watch TV. Looks out the windows. It's a calm room. She goes into her little pyramid bed and takes a nap. Jill |
