I'm too big to hide behind anything in our house
so we couldn't play hide and seek, and he can certainly outrun me, but sometimes I like to chase him just because I love to watch him do that kind of sideways, skittery run with his tail curved and then watch him slide on the floors. And anytime I make the bed, no matter where he is in the house, he will jump up on it with that playful look on his face so we can have a game of "what is that huge lump under the covers? I must pat it and press it to try and flatten it!" We also play peek-a-boo, when he's on his window shelf behind the curtains, and I open the curtains a microscopic crack, to make him meow. We sometimes just poke the curtains too, to hear the "prrrrt?" from behind them.
