Now that it is getting past Autumn and winter is approaching, Weezie is playing more and more with her cat ball track (Catit Senses), since she is inside more.

She has dragged her large paper over to it and covered it up. She then lies on top of the paper waiting for the ball to move slightly
and make a noise. Catit Senses make light up balls, with motion sensers in them, and I thought this might shine thru the paper some at night when she is playing there. So I ordered them from Amazon today. They are not expensive, only about $6.00 for a pack of two of them.

Many years ago I read a magazine called Cat Fancy. It had a story in it about cat "games", and explained 3 major play styles for kitties.

1) mouse--- This is where you create movement under cover, of a cloth, sheet or thin blanket or newspaper, and the cat then pounces on it. Many people discover their kittens attacking their feet and toes under the bed covers!

2) bird--- the toys with long plastic or graphite sticks with feathers or small toys/strings etc tied on the ends, can simulate birds flying around, and satisfy this hunting instinct. This was Maya's first toy when we got her ... she really loved it.

3) rabbit--- this is played with 2 cats, or a cat and a pet friend...it is the hide, jump out and surprise, and chase the other all over. When very vigorous, we call this having "the maddies". In our home sometimes this becomes a "rumble" as my husband calls it.
