The t-shirt game

[treybabe]

Our Sophi girl who came to us pregnant. Talking to the guys next door, she belonged to them but they never got her fixed and over the years she had several litters of kittens. Because they didn't realy take care of her she desided to leave and find other people (us).

Now every night about bedtime, she goes running into the bedroom, jumps on the bed, turns around and attacks the covers. This is the sigh that she is ready to start the game. I then take a t-shirt by the shoulders and hold it up infront of me. I then throw the it over her front half. She will then jump back about 2 feet out from under the shirt. I then pick up the tail part and drag it tword me and she attacks it. I then throw the tail part over her head and she jumps back and so on. We do this for about 10 jumps and then she is done and we can peacefully go to bed.

Things to watch out for when playing this game. Don't throw it on her if her rear end is to close to the edge. If it is she will launch right off the bed and it's just emberassing for everybody and the game is over. Do not play while other cats are on the bed. She will jump right in the middle of one and the fight is on and the game is over.



I have to admit that this is a game the she came up with one day while I was folding cloths.
Sophi is now fixed and has a full food dish and a full time job being pretty and making sure that the other cats stay in line.

Sounds like you both enjoy this game. Cats love things repeated and never tire of playing the same game over and over again. It is one way they relate to us.
