Stalk & attack...

Contessa just loves to watch TV and "stalk & attack" the images.. She especially likes images of small mice, squirrels, insects, etc.. Her favorite movie at the moment is "Ice Age", she just loves to try and get the "Scrat", which is small, and makes little sounds instead of talking.

Her favorite toy is a small plastic fishing rod, with an elastic string line, and a rabbit's foot and metal bell on the end... I wave this around and she loves to leap at it, trying to capture the "bird". She wants to play with this at least daily, and will stare at the high shelf that I keep it on when she wants to play.

Another toy she loves is a fuzzie catnip filled ball, with feathers attached to one side. She will throw this "birdie" up in the air with her front paws and leap/pounce at it for long sessions.. She frequently falls asleep with it in her arms.

She also likes those plastic "wiffle" type balls with the bells inside to bat around the rooms and give chase.
