Sora playing fetch!

[telophase]

You may remember how Sora plays fetch. He hasn't done it since the first few months we were in this house, as (a) our bedtime routine changed* and (b) his favorite feathers-onna-stick toy vanished.

He recently found it and pulled it out from wherever it had been hiding, then brought it into the living room and pronmptly shredded all the feathers off of it so it's now a sad-Mylar-streamers-onna-stick toy and there are bits of blue feathers all over the two rugs. And yesterday I was sitting in one of the chairs, and he dragged the stick over to me, which is what he used to do when he wanted to play.** So I played with it and him for quite some time, and threw it for him to fetch a number of times.

He started draggin it around the living room today, first in Toby's general vicinity, but not quite daring to get near to him. And when I went and sat on the couch, he eventually dragged it over to me. We played with it until I threw it, and he went over to it and sat on it, which is his way of saying "I'm tired. No more playing for now."

I filmed one of the fetches. :) You can't see because it's too dark, but when I threw it, it fell behind a small table (that we have a miniature Christmas tree on that needs to be put away) and I wasn't sure he was going to get behind it and pull the stick out without getting distracted and wandering off.

* It used to be "exhaust Sora so he doesn't annoy me during the night when he's bored." Now it's "watch Sora be too paranoid about the bedroom door looking into the hall to play."

** He once even dragged it into the bathroom when I was, let's say, not leaving for a while. XD

Bandit will go even better on the fetching front: he'll bring me his mousies and balls to throw, go racing after them, and then bring them back... repeatedly. He usually does this while I'm on the computer, since he knows I'll be here for a while, but he will also do it when I'm sitting on the couch, in the bathroom, and even when I'm in the kitchen (although he doesn't do that much, since I rarely oblige him there.)

My cat does this too -- mostly with hair ties. Sometimes I wake up next to a small pile of them.

Lol, what cutey. Haha, you should try to teach him some tricks. If nothing else, it can be very entertaining, even when your cat decides to be a stubborn butthead and refuses to do anything when you try to get them doing tricks on video >.> Maybe I should try to get a video of my Grimm-kitty again one day, and she won't realize that something is 'up' and turn into a butthead....
