Barbie's first Fetch

With the cooler weather, the kitties have been absolutely feral. They are constantly engaging each other in battle. Last night they just sat on the top of the couch trading body blows until I told them to knock it off!

Anyway, Mittens was sitting on the top of the couch while I was lying there, and I gave her a bit of a scratch. She seemed to enjoy it and started purring, and then she bit me! Softly, sure, but Mittens has never bitten me like that before! Then she whacked me with her paw. I went to the laundry and got her little purple kitty ball. I figured it was safe to play with the kitty ball because Bender was outside and Barbie wouldn't bother with it.

I threw it around for Mittens a bit and she showed some interest, and then Barbie came along. I threw the ball, Barbie trotted over to it, and daintily picked it up in her mouth! I praised her and called her back to me, and for the first time ever she came to me and dropped the teeny ball at my feet!

Mittens, being the neat freak that she is, would not touch the ball after it had been in Barbie's mouth, and Barbie lost interest and went back to her bed. It was so CUTE though!

Beryl has always loved fetching, preferably tennis balls:) Poor Mittens though, I hope she's got a clean replacement ball!
clever Barbie!!! :-D
That's funny, my kitties have been going at it lately and I was thinking it's because the weather is warming up and they want to be outside. Who knows. :-)
Awww! I wish you got it on camrea!! Would have loved to see it! Ha! Ha! Any cat that lilves in our house can't be a "neat freak" or they simply wouldn't survive! Being SLOBBERED is a daily occurence here. They've learnt not to stand anywhere underneath the region of Honey's head since drool can dribble indiscrimately downards at any time - but since Honey has a "wet mouth" all the time, even if she just goes over to sniff them means that thye get slimed! As for their toys, bed, general household furnishings...that goes without saying! :-)
