Oh yes My lil Lexie loves this game, but we play it with our feet instead, trouble is sometimes we are not playing, just moving our feet and ouch before ya know it she has done a pounce, bit of rude awakening half way during the night, most nights she is pretty docile though and sleeps, it is just when she is becoming bored and wants those hooman's to wake up she stirs and gets a little playful.
