Default An amazing ping pong playing cat..

Was featured on an episode of MASH that aired this afternoon here in
Australia.

Anyone seen this cat before? His name was Dagwood. A google search didn't
bring anything on him that I could find. He was very talented!

An amazing ping pong playing cat..

My cat will bat a toy back and forth to me on the floor kind of like air
hockey. I bet a cat would like to play ping pong. I think I saw one on Animal
Planet once.

Animal Planet had a video of two cats playing tetherball. They kept it up
for quite some time!

(Tetherball is a game where a ball is tied to a pole with a long rope.
You try to wrap the rope around the pole by hitting the ball in "your"
direction - either clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on which way
you're facing - while your opponent is trying to wrap it in the other
direction by hitting the ball the other way. Whoever succeeds in getting
the rope completely around the pole in their direction wins.)

Don't recall this on any MASH episode and it seems I've watched them all
many times but there is a cat playing ping-pong on a compendium of
hilarious cat videos, last knwon to reside at (thanks, Katie):

Thanks for the link! That was a great video. I should have said the cat
wasn't so much featured but shown briefly, the episode was showing a lot of
things that were going on at home during the war. MASH is a more recent
interest of mine so I don't really know much more about it!

Thanks again,

Kathryn

Sesame is an elderly lady and won't play any such games these days! If I so
much as wave something in her general vicinity I just get a long stare
before she settles down to go back to sleep.

She was quite playful in her youth (and mine!) but I was always told as a
child not to 'tease' her, my parents had a different idea about what is
playing and what is teasing.

Oddly, when I downloaded and played this video, it was upside-down!
Did this happen to anyone else?

I've seen this one before, and it's always been right-side up...

Silly. It's so your cats can watch it from on top of the monitor.


It's gotta be Smudge. She's so smart, it's scary. She must have figured
out how to set the right parameters in order to make it play upside-down.
I can't even figure that out - or how to get it upright again.

Hmm... and she's up on the monitor again... I think you're on to something.
