Default The Rabbit Game.

I had a cat "PURRFECT" that liked to play games WITH ME!

It liked to "go outside" to go. It did not like the "cat box". So it would act very frustrated and play very roughly with its toys when it wanted out.

One time it tossed a toy rabbit way up in the air and I immediately leaped out my chair and ran to the door and let Purrfect out.

The next day I put the toy rabbit in the same place and sure enough "Purrfect" tossed it way up in the air and then he immediately looked at me and I again leaped out of my chair and ran to let him out.

The game part comes when I put the rabbit in different rooms and locations in the rooms. The poor cat would find it and throw it in the air in "the other room" and then come and look/stare at me.

The cat knew that the toys name was "rabbit". It took a while but I convinced "Purrfect" to find the rabbit and bring it into the room where I was and then to throw it into the air.

The FUN part was that I would then HIDE the rabbit and make him find it and bring it to where I was and again throw it into the air.

I was forced to only have about 6 locations because it just could not/would not do an extensive search of the whole house.

It would check each location to get the rabbit once I hide it. The darn cat would "talk" to me and really carry on something fierce if I did not follow the rules.

It made me teach it other games. I guess this is just part of the problems of being retired with a lot of time on my hands.

p.s. I had a minor in psychology in college. My major was Sociology. I always wondered what I would do with that degree.
