Andy wants Dougy to come and play their little chase game, the one that begins with the multi-colored fabric and a yowling Andy…
…but Dougy’s enjoying the fresh air by the open front door.
Dougy stomped his foot at Andy, which confused him. Dougy usually wants to play!
Andy looks to me for support. I rub his nose and stroke his cheeks, but he’s still upset Dougy won’t play!
Poor kitty~! Andy goes off to the front room to pout! He’ll be OK in a short time because he has a sweet nature and doesn’t hold grudges!
You have to think like a kitty to get them really excited about toys.
That is very true! Or, you have to behave like a prey critter the kitty finds interesting. I think it is the same thought looked at from two angles!
You have to think like a kitty to get them really excited about toys. Not everyday can be play day.
That is a fact! And you have to have the right toy, as determined by the kitty. The toy that caused great excitement and involvement the day before could be today’s “meh” toy!
Dougy waits till I’m on the laptop before he wants to play. One of the boy kitties here usually gives a big yowl to start things off.
Kenneth – I think I must have typed over your comment or we are living identical lives!
I like the Andy’s close photo. It is very expressive and your words express well what he wants to say, Great photo, Doug!
In friendship

Thanks, Michel! I was very pleased with it, too, since he posed nicely. Most time, Andy (and Dougy) run off if they see me with a camera or my smart phone.
Poor Andy! That happens here, too; one cat wants to play and no one else will. So they start with a yowl? One of the boy kitties here usually gives a big yowl to start things off. And sometimes little Hope, sister of Marcus, gives her brother the silent surprise attack! She can still bowl him over. 🙂
Ha! Ha! Sounds familiar! I get a kick out of it, bit know I need to stay out of the race track lanes around the place till they finish the game!
Not everyday can be play day. That is just how it goes at the Zoo too. But tomorrow is another day. Good to be forgiving and not hold on to things too long.
Exactly! No good comes of grudges!
Poor Andy, how sad. 🙁
He really put on a show that day! He’s OK now, of course, because Dougy eventually played with him.
dood…ewe can all wayz come over two trout towne two play !! 🙂 ♥♥
Well, Dougy might enjoy sniffing his way to your place, but Andy is shy. He’d probably hide along the way!
There are days when play is not on the agenda. Shoko won’t take no for an answer from Kali and tries to nip Kali on the butt. To heck with fair play. lol

LOL! Andy and Dougy are polite about it, though both are known to pout if the other (or I…) doesn’t play .
Andy and Doug have such beautiful coats. Do they let you brush them? Mine seems to molting at the moment, and she’s such a mess I’ve actually considered sending her for a grooming but cannot seem to find anyone who does this.
Dougy love, love, loves brushing, whereas Andy has to be caught off guard. Dougy has a thick undercoat, and Andy’s hair is less dense. Finding a cat groomer can be problematic, for sure! I’m lucky in that I live about two blocks away from one who will take cats…if they are well behaved! My kitty boys are shedding now, too. Ugh!
Oh man. We’re in the same situation. My shorthair annoys me when I’m home schooling because he wants to play.
Dougy waits till I’m on the laptop before he wants to play. I generally can play and work a bit on the computer, alternating them two till Dougy’s tired or bored.
Man. It is really hard to play with cats.
No kidding! You have to think like a kitty to get them really excited about toys.
Awww ! sad little kitty. I’m glad they did play later on.
Me, too! Andy is such a sweetie that I hate to see him upset! (I played with him after I got my photos…blogs are time-consuming and eat tons of photos and other content, as you know!)
I’m glad you played with him. He must be happy now.
Well, spoiled rotten at least!
Andy I hope your bro will play with you soon… maybe he had such a zen-moment where we are far away from reality locked in our day dreams?
Oh, they weer back to playing shortly after! Andy and Dougy respect each other’s limits until it’s time to double up, then it’s mayhem and get out of the way while the kitty boys have fun! (Fortunately, they are cats, so most of the day they sleep, most of the rest of the day they groom and loaf around, and party of the rest of the day they fun all over the apartment acting like greyhounds at the track! (As for zen moments, I think they pack those into their sleepytimes before trhey nap!)
