Sora was actually PLAYING FETCH!

I was working on kanzashi tonight, and myrialux was over, performing his mandate of entertaining Sora so he'd leave me alone. myrialux was teasing Sora with his favorite toy - the long stick with feathers on the end.

We've already established that when Sora wants to play with it and you, he'll drag it over and deposit it somewhere near you*. myrialux threw it across the room to get Sora away from him so he could rip another CD on his laptop, and Sora ... dragged it back. So myrialux threw it again. Sora dragged it back. This occurred five or six times before myrialux threw it in a different direction and Sora got distracted. :) Here's hoping he does it again!

No, no video or pics yet, so don't ask. :)

* Although he doesn't quite understand that if you are, say, asleep, you might not notice the stick. I've woken up next to it a time or two.

Isn't is so cute when they do that? My Lily will do that sometimes too. :D

And I just managed to get him doing it on video! Once! For the second throw, he goes over, sniffs it, and then leaves it there! XD

ENCOURAGE EEEEET! Maybe Sora can become a famous movie star trained kitty.

Try shooting the larger terry-cloth hair bands. I've known several fetch-inclined cats who think they are the best toy ever when people shoot them across the room.

Squee! My kitty does that with bottle caps from pepsi/bottled water. He will play fetch until the dog gets jealous and chases him away. If you keep doing it he will probably do it forever :)

I have commented to friends about my cat playing fetch and learned he is not alone in this 'un-cat-like' behavior.

We have played for as long as five minutes - but cats are easily distracted. :)

Yes, our Bubba does that too, only he loves paper balls.
He hears you crinkling up the paper into the ball and comes running.
I can also shoot a rubber band around and have him retrieve that as well. :)

At times, he will bring the ball over and drop it onto out lap while we sit in the living room.
He just loves chasing that ball.

He also growls from time to time if something disturbs him and loves to eat peanuts.
