Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2006Cat Fetches
QT(pronounced like cutey) has taken to playing with a hair curler. It's one of those nylon-mesh wrapped wire springy things. He bats it around, picks it up in his mouth, drops it and bats it around a bit more. When I sit at the computer, he brings it to me and puts it down. I toss it across the room along the floor and he scrambles after it then bats it around before returning it to me for another go. If I'm not paying attention, he'll mew-squeak until I notice and toss it out for him to chase again.  Signature--- Chip Oderint dum metuant -Lucius Accius Sounds like he is training his slave well >Sounds like he is training his slave well <snerk> It does indeed! All hail to our cats, who demand prompt, first-class service!! Want to teach QT to fetch on command? When you toss the curler for him, say "Fetch." When he brings it, give quick praise, another toss, and another "Fetch." Voila! You have trained your cat. Or your cat has . .

You are the first other person I've heard whose cat does that! We have 7. A couple years ago a pregnant female was abandoned here & we took her it. She had 4 kittens August 10, 2004. We meant to give them away, but got too attached after 8 weeks. We still have them all, plus mom & 2 others we had before. Anyway the runt of the litter does that with plastic bread ties. She will bring them back over & over to fetch and we get tired of doing it long before she does. It is so COOL! > You are the first other person I've heard whose cat does that! Add me....Fugazi (RB) did it and we thought it was pretty odd but Sarrasine also does it with her Santa! Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs Maybe he just wants his hair curled and is thinking, "What a stupid human, he keeps throwing this curler away when I have a job for him!" Me, I'm the 'Doorman' our cats go and sit by the front door and if I don't go an open it in a short enough time they come an get me as I must be slacking off! Can't wait for Spring and the opening of the cat door again (they're lousy tippers!). > QT(pronounced like cutey) has taken to playing with a hair curler.
