\"\"Does your cat make up games? Ours do. You\u2019ll probably notice that some cats are more creative than others. Our precious tabby, Lily, made a game of decorating the house with her toys. She couldn\u2019t stand seeing them piled neatly in her toy basket, she wanted them out where she could see them and we could stumble over them. Olivia, on the other hand, will not\"\" disturb her toy box. She loves to play with her toys when you get them out, but she won\u2019t venture in to get them herself.<\/p>\n

Some cats play hide and seek. They hide your earring or watch or a phone number you\u2019ve been saving or your used tea bag for you to find when and where you least expect it. Oh my!<\/p>\n

\"\"Do your cats put you through agility trials? I\u2019m getting too old to get down on my hands and knees and dig out Olivia\u2019s toys (and my fingernail file) after Olivia has kicked it under the furniture to live with the dust bunnies.<\/p>\n

What about that game most cats like to play which I call, Made you Look! What is it that cats see when they \"\"stare seemingly into space? I\u2019ve had cats actually follow something across a room with their eyes when there\u2019s absolutely nothing there? Do cats see spirits? The jury\u2019s still out on that one for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"Cats also like to play fetch\u2014most of the time it is you<\/em> doing the fetching. Occasionally Olivia will bring toys to me to throw. Such fun. Love it when she returns time and time again with a toy for me to toss.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s the game cats play when you\u2019re relaxing. Fluffy or Tuffy encourages you to get up and dig a toy from between the sofa cushions lest the cat tear into the fabric with her claws, and when you return to your seat the cat is curled up all cute and cozy where you\u2019d been sitting.<\/p>\n

And how do they know exactly which document you\u2019re working with or reading? They know. I know they know because that\u2019s just the document they want to shred.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your cat\u2019s favorite game?<\/p>\n
