Mmm, think I'm gonna.
Thanks, it really is. It was driving him absolutely mad again, and I just couldn't leave him to suffer like that for the rest of the food trial.

I’ve noticed this with our two - black and white under normal light conditions but some ginger hues in bright sunshine.

Carrie is being very playful at the moment. I think she's bored because it's not really outdoors weather. She's an enthusiastic string chaser and does great running somersaults and flying tackles. I might have to start marking her for technique, artistic impression etc.Donut loves a fabric mouse toy. He is an outdoor cat, and does hunt, but he's a bit shit at itToy mice probably offer a simpler pleasure.
I've never had such a playful cat tbhHe is quite dog-like in that regard - loves chasing a tennis ball up the garden when the weather is good.
What games can you play with a cat other than the string thing? She hasn't taken to backgammon as I'd hoped.

some cats take to playing 'fetch', some will just give you a withering look and go back to sleep if you try. some will do either depending on what mood they are in that day.

is that a warm spot?
when i lived with the mogs, about 2/3 of the way up the stairs, at about downstairs ceiling height, was about the warmest place in the house (it had warm air central heating) - i knew it was cold when they took root there...

how about a paper bag and a spoon
(for some reason, i wondered if the guy who did 'an engineers guide to cats' was still posting on mew tube and he is)

Cat’s favourite thing to play with (in the absence of an actual mouse) is a bordhrán beater under a blanket, which is pretty much the same as a wooden spoon and a paper bag in principle.
Cat is somewhere in the middle: he loves it when I throw stuff for him, chases after it all willing and gleeful, then he stands beside the thing and stares at me til I go over there, pick it up, and throw it again. I know he can fetch because he’ll bring it halfway, drop it and stare at me. He doesn't want the indignity of dropping it at my feet, far more than he wants the pleasure of the game. He wants me to go to him. Not the other way around.
IMO IME cats either get fed up when they realise there’s nothing to catch; or they get overstimulated and frustrated and/or anxious and pissed off, because there’s nothing to catch.
On the whole Cat doesn’t play. When he does, it doesn’t last long. He has a pretty low tolerance for all interactions. Either he doesn’t like me or he’s got a low threshold for one-2-one interaction.
One of the people who house sits when I’m away does TikTok dancing with him. He adores her and weaves around while she’s busting moves. For all I know she posts it all up, Cat is an international viral sensation, and she’s making her bag.
