  1. When I lived in a house with stairs, Della liked to play fetch with a soft foam golf ball. She would bring it to you, you were supposed to bounce it off the wall at the top of the stairs, and she would run down, grab it, and bring it back. If you were a guest and refused to believe that she really wanted it flung and instead just gave a half-hearted toss, she would stalk after it in a huff and deliver it to someone else to throw for her. And if you were busy, she’d take it to the top of the stairs and bat it down for herself. Such a clever cat! Too bad we live in a one-floor basement, now…

  2. She could teach most dogs a thing or two! The electric colored mice look like a lot of fun. I think she should spring for a shoulder massage for you though!

  3. Blue fetches, too. He also would have been a great cow horse if he weren’t a cat. Whereas the rest of my herd tend towards the fat and lazy “bring me my tuna” variety, Blue is lightning quick and has amazing focus. He’s getting fat, too, though–on all the bugs he’s been catching! If it flies, it’s dead and swallowed. 😉

    It’s really cute that you got pictures of it at his eye level!

  4. Yep, one more dog owner that is jealous! Charlie will chase and look at the object but won’t pick it up. Is May available for tutoring?

  5. I have one kitty that will take her toy to the top of the stairs, drop it, let it bounce down a step or 2 and then chase it the rest of the way down the stairs. Repeat ad nauseum,,,,,

  6. Your camera skills are impressive. I’ve never gotten a pic of Bert hauling toys around. I just wake up with knit mousies in bed with me or a kitty fishing pole across my face.

  7. Lewey here, hijacking the email after midnight when they think I’m asleep. I can’t even begin to tell you how undignified that behavior is. You are ruining things for all of us pigheaded pets out here. STOP fetching, May!

    You are pretty cute though, with that mouse. If I was a cat, I might find you “fetching”.

  8. awww – so adorable.
    Mine stopped playing fetch when we moved a year ago – no telling exactly why. every now and then I miss it… sort of…
