she also shows remarkable persistence fishing it out of nooks, crannies and high places. in fact, the less reachable the place is, the more interested she seems. though at some point she gives up and meows asking me to either get it myself or put her closer #catcognition

the downside of being really smart is that she's constantly bored, because i don't have the energy right now for multiple hours of diverse cat games every day, and also because most of the cat toys i've seen are extremely primitive

this is basically the problem. we know how to make toys for human toddlers, who are smarter than grabbier, but we need to make toys for cats, who are grabbier than smarterhttps://twitter.com/gsuberland/status/1043194517770387456 …

same cat has repeatedly demonstrated lifting a small glass vial with both front paws and lifting it to try and grab with teeth (unsuccessfully, it wasn't very grabby). also lifting it with a single claw by the cap meanwhile, our other cat eats cardboard

One of ours cats fetches hairpins, to a point where she will bring a hairpin to you and demand you to throw it. The other one fetches food? Like you throw her a snack and she brings it back (granted the first cat doesn’t eat it in the meantime)

yes, she would absolutely bring me a ball and meow until i wake up and play with her.

i salute your fellow fetching cat! this one only fetches these specific mice https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-ZANIES-Rainbow-FURRY-MICE-cat-toy-toys-REAL-FUR-MICE/382529912417 … and disregards most other toys

ours fetches anything she can carry in teeth. she tries to fetch everything else too but it doesn't work for obvious reasons
