My little Lucy just started playing fetch a few days ago! She either plays
with this pink monkey (her *baby*) or a hair-tie. It is TOO cute! I just have
to toss it across the room and she brings it right back! Sometimes she'll
carry it around in her mouth... and sometimes she walks over to her water
bowl and just drop them in there (which is annoying. it's not fun to pull a
big, dripping stuffed monkey out of a water bowl).
I thought this might be an interesting conversation starter. Anyone else's
kitty do this?

There's a post from today in alt.pet.cats about a cat
that does that, how funny.  I had a cat that used to
fetch a small rubber ball and bring it back to me.
It's very endearing in an animal famed for non-submission.
Always made me feel most flattered.

My pal Elmo surprised me with the retriever routine
when he was a little guy.  He doesn't do that anymore,
but he drags a six-foot length of clothesline up from
the basement and drapes it over my bed every night.

Both of my guys have played fetch.  My older has grown out of it, but my
younger one, 1 year old, still plays.  I lay in bed at night and he brings in
one of his toy mice and I through it into the living room and out he goes and
brings it right back to me in his mouth.  This goes on for quite some time.
My other cat was the first one that I have ever seen do this and it still
melts my heart watching them play.

Now, that's interesting. I wonder what the motivation for this
behavior is. IOW, what is Elmo thinking about? Weird.

My first cat I had on my own was Sarah.  I got her young, at
only four weeks, from the pound.  From the very getgo, she
had this funny little game she loved to play with me right until
the end (she died at four, car).  No matter where in the house
she might be, if I said the word "Peekaboo", in totally normal
human, non-cutesy tones, she would drop whatever she was
doing and come roaring at me like a motherbear protecting her
cubs.  Still, at only two pounds, one couldn't help laughing.
At about six feet away from me, she would then become
airborne, launching herself right at my arms.  If I didn't catch
her, she would pelt herself right at my chest, knocking
me over (yes, at two pounds) so it was kind of necessary
for me to catch her.  Which I usually did, heheh.  Then,
without stopping to adjust her balance or anything, she
would rear up in my arms onto her back legs and box
with my face, slapping me all around, claws in, while
I just laughed hysterically.  I never failed to laugh
hysterically.  It never, ever got less funny!  I still get
tears in my eyes with laughter thinking about it.  If I told
people about it, they didn't believe me until they saw it
for themselves.  There was no other word that would do,
but Peekaboo.  Anything else that sounded similar, would
make her sneak a look, but she knew when I was trying
to fool her.  Never could!  Go figure.

Peekaboo! (sorry, could  not resist) Sarah was a good one and is still
looking after you,  you stupid human!

Who can fathom  the mind of a cat?

My Muriel used to like to fetch 120-size film spools.  She had me
bowling them down the hallway for her to chase after and bring back
to me.  When I came home from work she'd be waiting behind the door
with a film spool in her mouth and drop it at my feet to tell me to
get on with it.

My Tippy loves to play fetch but it has to be with a certain ball. Have never
been able to determine exactly what makes the perfect fetch ball as it changes
frequently. If you throw the wrong one, he'll just look at you like you're
crazy. Sometimes it's not a ball, ever try throwing a small piece of paper?
He's such a character!

Yeah, I have had cats that could hear a chocolate bar
being unwrapped from the opposite corner of the
house and would come running.  Not for the chocolate,
but for the wrapper.  They would wait impatiently for
me to finish the chocolate, and screw the wrapper up
into a little ball, best if it was foil, and then toss it
somewhere and the game would be on!
