I just got home from work, and she immediately greeted me at the door and led me to her food bowl so I could watch her eat. She was born feral, so she needs me to watch over her while she eats because she's concerned about predators.

When she was finished eating, she sped off across the apartment and into the bedroom, so I chased her in there. She's really weird and loves butt spanks, so she was waiting with her butt up in the air, lmao. So after I slapped her back and forth with my hands a few times, I ran away from her towards the living room. I hid behind the coffee table, and after a five second delay, I heard her run at full speed to me. When she found me, she slapped me on the forehead. Then she took off to the kitchen, where she was waiting for more butt slaps.

This is a game of tag that we play with each other almost every night when I get home, and it's one of the highlights of my day, lol. She's bizarre, and I love her.

    How did you discover your cat likes to play fetch? One time, about three weeks after I adopted Ruby, she randomly approached me with a ping pong ball she found and dropped it at my feet. She just sat and stared at me, so I threw it and she brought it back, lol. I thought that was the coolest thing, I never heard of cats playing fetch before.

      Pretty much the same he would bring me my wife's hair ties so I can launch them across the hallway for him to bring back. Mine has a favorite string, the first toy he played with after adoption ( he hid for about 3 days). He carries the string around like he's caught a snake from one room to another. He sometimes will hide what he thinks are toys like the hair ties or socks. He's super afraid of plastic bags after getting one stuck on him like a parachute as he ran around. Super affectionate and very bonded to us.
