Thread: Does your cat play fetch

Sometimes he brings us back the mouse though. I don't think that counts as him playing fetch just yet!

Samantha didn't always bring it right back either, but when she did it was hysterical her little head would bob up and down and I talk to her just like if she was a dog "Bring it here Girl" and then when she would give it to me I'd give her great praise and pets "You're a Good Girl".
She would just glow when praised.
It has to be fun and there has to be a reward for success.
It was kinda sad she lost interest in the game when she matured, she'd still play with the cat teaser and play with the mice by herself but no more fetch.
