How do you play with your cat, ideas for playtime and fun games Options

[CatsRCool]

Hi - Just wondering how you play with your cat and what games you play?

My lil guy loves playing with a shoe lace - chasing and swatting at it and generally killing it.

He also plays with a little foam ball, chases it and then dribbles it like a soccer.

Can your cats do any tricks or are there any other fun games you guys play?

I want to make sure play time doesn't get dull !!

Ping pong balls on wooden or tiled floors always go down well with 4 of my 6. It usually ends up with me trying to retrieve ping pong balls from underneath appliances and furniture. They all like to swat and catch anything you might have hanging off a piece of string at the end of a stick - feathers go down well. You can buy stuff like this, but they are just as easy to make and played with just as much.

My cats are aged between 5 and 8.5, and aren't as playful as they once were, so playtime doesn't happen every day in this house. If I really want to please the girls I sit down and give them all a good brush. That's the thing that seems to make them the happiest of all, having mum brush them.
