Anyone else have a cat that plays Fetch?

I mean, throw an item, they run after it, retrieve it in thier mouths, bring it back to you, repeat? More than just 4 or 5 times in a row?

My Drizzle Babe did this as a tot and, finally, this past week or two, he's resumed it - he'd stopped since being fixed. He's now obsessed with paper balls. He loves the taste of cardboard or paper. Why? Who knows. So we've got a cacaphony of tiny golf-ball size paper balls all over the floor.

When he wants to play, he finds one, picks it up, and trots over to us, plopping it down to say "THROW!" :D

Pre-fixing, he'd play for updards of 40 or 50 throws. It was amazing.

Post-fixing, he'd rarely done it. Now, resuming, he does it at least a dozen or more times. Usually about 20 times before getting tired of it.

My kitty does that sometimes! When,he was a baby, he used to play fetch so much, he wouldn't stop playing until he was s tired that he had to breathe with his mouth open.... his little tounge hanging out! :lol:
(I know, I know, that was a run-on sentence. Sorry!)

Yes, Tage will do it, very cute, we can throw a fuzzy mouse far away from us down into the hall way, he will run after it, bring it back to us and wait for us to throw it again!

Jelly Bean used to do the same thing, poor soul... rip.

I hate to brag (again) about Precious, my female Siamese, but fetching a rolled piece of cardboard is her favorite game. If I don't see that she has brought the "mousie" right away, she puts her paw on my knee and tells me! The only problem is that she never tires of the game!

I did not teach her. She came up with the game herself. (Proud mommy braggiing!) If I tell her I'm going to throw it on the Love, Love, Love, she knows that means the love seat-because she likes to stretch out there to have her tummy, then her back rubbed! She doesn't jump up right away. She spots it, sneaks up to the love seat and then pounces on it! Aren't they clever animals?
