Playtime

Since there's been so much talk of obese/diabetic cats here, just
curious -- how many of you have scheduled/unscheduled playtime using
interactive toys with your cat(s) every day?


I play with my girls whenever I can. Since I work a desk job
at home I need to get up and move around every now and then,
and 2 out of 3 times I go find a cat with the laser or feather on a
stick and play for a while. (Sometimes I just love on them, but
I do try to play as they need it.) Then every night we have laser
time and toy time in bed. Cheeks gets a lot of excercise
kicking the figurative snot out of her Fatcat catnip crinkle
factor toys! Arnie Schwarzenegger has been taking a beating
lately, but there are times when I mostly see Hillary Clinton's
little purple pumps sticking up while Cheeky wallops her.
I think Cheeks is an independent. (If she were a libertarian
I would know as I would find little tiny weapons caches
all over the house.)



Humans are supposed to get aerobic exercise three times a week. Cats?

Hodge is still young (4ish) and exercises himself by going into tizzies
and running madly back and forth for no apparent reason. As gets older,
I expect this will tail off and that it'd be a good idea to encourage
exercise within his limits.
