I beat my cats for fun.
(the subject line is a troll)
When he first arrived, my new male cat was hurt and weak. After months of good food and rest, he has become very playful, very healthy looking, and huge! Before I started playing with him, he played with his tail all day. Taking from prior experience with Kiki (my resident female) I took the inner stiff paper role from used up aluminum foil and began beating him with it (not on the head area). I started very gently and payed close attention to how he responded. Naturally, at the very first he acted like it was a bad thing. As he became unfrightened of the "beating" it became a play thing. It takes days to introduce them to it, you don't get immediate gratification. Now it is total fun. Now I can say "Here boy! Here boy!" and throw the stiff paper role across the room and he chases it down. No, he doesn't bring it back in his mouth. But I got him to do the fake out thing once, when you just pretend to throw the object and they run for it anyway, heheh. Sorry, I couldn't resist trying that one. Cats really like posturing, assertive sort of play. Cats might not be overtly effectionate as dogs, but they love attention and love to play. Fun pets. -- Kiki is getting more used to Kitty, I think someday she will even play with him. I think one of the problems has been that his size is very intimidating. |
