When you return home, your cat may be watching for you at the window. Tracing your finger on the window can be great fun.

Some cats love being around water. You might see if they are interested in fishing for your toes while you’re taking a bath, or in bobbing for floating plastic bottles.

Yes, you can teach your cat to fetch. As many of us know, cats sometimes like bringing us "presents" of something they hunted. With a bit of regular encouragement, you can get them to bring you soft balls or mouse toys.

Balls of every type and anything that rolls is fun to a cat, but balls of yarn are among their favorites.

Some cats love a challenge. Try putting an object they want or a treat inside a plastic jug or box that has holes cut in it, or place a jingling ball inside a clear, roll-able, plastic container.

Play hide and seek when they are following you all around the house. Pick up your speed and duck behind a door jamb. When they get close, jump out and say "BOO!" and chase them making game noises. Then go back on your route, and jump out again when they follow you.

"Twitch the Hair" is played when they are sleepy and lying near you. Ever so lightly, with your finger or other object, move very lightly across just a few hairs. Usually the lower back, ear tufts, and hair on the under paw works best. You’ll know you’re in the right area when they start to twitch. When they open their eyes, pretend like nothing happened. Let them close their eyes and begin again.
