I tried to get Dougy interested in play. I mean, when he gets onto the recliner, that’s usually his signal for playtime.
His response went from indifferent to very cold!
“No means no!”
(Not to worry. A short time later he was very playful when I changed from tempting him on the recliner to dragging it under a pillow. He love, love, loves diving under things to get to his “prey”!)
That’s my favorite playtime too!
Andy is even more particular about playtime than Dougy.
So am I- I love playing golf with the Can Opener -I kick the golf ball to her and she’ll roll it back to me and we kick it back and forth!
I’ve tried this kind of play with the kitty boys, but they still think I have to take it away from them, so they stop a little bit away from me so I can’t. LOL!
Smart boys!!!😹
That they are~!
Oh that’s a fun game – to dive after a toy that slithers out from under a pillow! Get that sneaky toy, Dougy! Winks.
A kitty dream situation! It could, afterall, be a live mouse one day and you need to have your kitty ready for that possibility!
He looks like he is more into nap time there.
Yeah, and sometimes he gets growly if I interrupt it.
There is nothing more exciting than the toy that disappears, even for just a few moments. Tyebe must dig for it too. How to distroy a rug in a few days. hehe

Yes, carpets do suffer when toys or food presumed to be in hiding are involved! Ever wonder why they put carpets on cat trees? I always throught it was a great way to train cats to tackle all carpets everywhere in the home or to enlighten cats on huiman hypocrisy! LOL!
He’s entitled to have mood swings. (-: Let Dougy be.
He has claws if I don’t ! (It takes a lot to upset a Persian kitty, but it can be done.)
dood…ree clinerz time iz chillaxin time round heer sew we wood knot wanna play rite then either !! 🙂 ♥♥
Ironically, this is where they really like to play wand toy games!
It is fun when he says its fun….LOL chuq
Yes, tyranny of the kitty boys – be at our beck and call. We will let you know what we want after we exhaust you.
Yep….they know how to manipulate…LOL chuq
Tomorrow’s post illustrates that – Dougy wanted “scritching” and yowled till I did it!
I will be waiting…..have a great day….chuq
maybe the pillows are the cat-alysers for playtime?
They can be! Dougy in particular love, love, loves to hide from his “prey”, then ambush them when they come by. The pillow works fine for wand toy lures! Dougy gets really wound up playing wand toy when I include the pillow or the comforter for him to hide behind!
