And immediately I pictured a cat or kitten playing with it on the floor, knocking it around and under things. I do remember when we used to live in Santa Ana, Mom and Dad had one of those mirrored closet doors. And our folks told us about how our cat Dominic would run into their bedroom at night, and run and jump up at the closet mirror cause he saw his reflection and I guess thought it was another cat. And they thought it was hilarious (I imagine so). One very funny thing we used to do with one of our cats, was when in bed and he's on the foot of it, he liked to pounce your feet if you moved them around (best to be wearing socks when trying this).... almost like watching him play a "whack-a-mole" game. You can still do it when they're on the bed, just put a somewhat thick sock or glove on your hand, and move it around under the covers - it's hilarious! Plus its good entertainment for them as well as exercise I'm sure too Plus also good for testing their reflexes I guess
Originally Posted By jasmine7 Lol, that's awesome, DJ! I can't play with my cat with my hand under the cover. He just gets too wild and tries to bite it through the cover. The big things he loves are Q-Tips and plastic wrappers. I have no idea why he's so obsessed with those two things, but if he finds either of them, he'll grab it and gnaw on it. My dog, she's just plain silly. She's big on playing ball and catching the frisbee in the backyard. She loves to play-fight with her siblings when they come to visit us, and sometimes when she gets really worked up, she'll run into the bedroom and wiggle and roll all across the bed. She never fails to make me laugh.
Originally Posted By Lil Mermaid Both of our puppies are kinda crazy. They love water bottles, I think it is the crunching noises it makes. For fun MH and I put treats inside of them. They also love ice and chasing it on the floor. But their favorite thing to do is shred paper. They go nuts over the stuff...

All our hedgehogs love playing with toilet rolls and "lifting" their yesterdays news (Bedding) in the air and tunneling around. One of our hedgehogs likes to climb stairs. Another likes getting into furniture. They also like annointing themselves when they get into "weird" stuff. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMJBZR-cDkQ" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...BZR-cDkQ</a> (Not one of my hog's) <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5XSWZdwN-CA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...WZdwN-CA</a> My one cat likes to rip up carpet.

His form of enjoyment comes from getting as close to me as he can and cuddling. Or sometimes gnawing on a bone. Or running around the house with Liberty in pursuit. He does like "sight seeing" when I'm in a wheelchair and he doesn't have to work! He actually will walk alongside me and look from side to side taking in all the sights with a big smile on his face. Too funny.

No problem for me as I get up early ... however the kids don't like the 5:30 a.m. play time! They jump up on their beds, I'm sure begging the girls to get up and play!! Once in awhile our Scottie will play hide-and-seek with my youngest. He actually stalks her from room to room and sneaks up on her, barks and runs away!

Originally Posted By Tinkeroon Our cats used to love playing with the little plastic stick and cap thingy that are inside of those Push Ems ice creams. You push the ice cream up through the tube with the stick and when your done you have the stick and the plastic cap the ice cream sat on. My cats went nuts playing with those. And when my daughter was younger she had those "Rainbow Brite" dolls and each doll came with it's own little "sprite". Well, my cats would make off with the little "sprites" and carry them all over the house. Almost like their own little doll. They loved them and it was so cute. Now, they usually just love to play with a paper that you put under a closed door...you on one side, them on the other. Wiggle the paper just under the door almost out of their reach. They just pounce and you see this little paw reaching under the door trying to spear the paper with a claw and drag it under the door. Even when you stop and open the door they run in and behind the door trying to find that paper and their eyes are all big and excited. They're so cute!
