My cat Psycho is never far from my side. When she's ready to play, she signals so by flopping over on to her side. That means she want to play Catch. I toss her a ping-pong ball (flocked; I think they are intended to be practice golf balls) pretty much right at her head. She won't chase them. She catches the ball with both paws - that's why she lies down, you see - and then she tosses it away. Sometimes in my direction, but it is very random.
She also loves chasing bits of foil that have been rolled into little balls. She's an expert at directing them under the sofa or stereo, where she then waits patiently for them to roll back out.
I never said she was smart.
And she likes to get a cat treat. One. Every day. You give her one treat, and she prances away afterwards like she won first place in the beauty contest. It hasn't occurred to her that there might be more than one treat!!
Scratchpad, devoted slave to her cat
