Playmates-Pt.2
 
CATS
1.Who's the boss?
 
If you have cats as playmates,make sure you let them know the first day
who's the boss.The ferret,of course.
 
You can do this by running at their feet,cats are sensitive about their
feet,as they have to land on them all the time.
 
You can also sneak up on them while they're sleeping and grab a mouthful of
fur.Remember to spit it out,or you may be given some yuchy stuff.Of course,
if you like that sort of thing...
 
2.Playtime
When you are playing around cats,be careful coming out of boxes,tubes and
under rugs.Cats like to play Bop the Ferret at these times.Be watchful and
peek out first.Also keep an eye out for froggy kittys.They will sometimes
go banzai,and jump on or run over you without looking.When you see a kitty
jumping around,it's a good idea to go to your hidey hole,until you know
what's up.
 
3.Games with kitty
Chase the Kitty-This is a fun game you can play with your feline friend.To
start the game,go running at them and when they turn to run,that means they
want to play.If they don't run right away,try war dancing.Sometimes this
can get things started.As a last resort,if you have a lazy kitty,you can
hop back and forth over the kitty,making sure to land on the kitty on the
last hop.This is the no fail method.
 
Kitty Trampoline-This is an energetic game,but fun,and can be played with
one or more kittys.The more cats you have the better the game.Put your
kittys in a line,then run and jump on kitty1,kitty 2 and so on.By the end
of the line,watch out for Bop the Ferret activity.
 
Wrestling-Wrestling can be enjoyable,but take care as kittys have sharp
claws,and you don't want to become a circus act,tumbling over and over on
kittys hind feet.The headlock is a good hold to bring kitty down,and the
earlock works as a submission hold,but watch out for the referee,your
human,as this may result in a time out.Now that's scarey.
 
Hide and Seek-This is where the kitty has to find you,or you get to jump
out at kitty and watch him go up in the air and get all poofy.Yes,kittys do
it too.This can be very entertaining.
 
4.Sleepy time
Snuggling-It can be nice to sleep with your kitty,especially the fuzzy ones
at this time of year.Just watch out if you stick your cold nose on their
tummy.This can tickle your nose and piss off kitty.
 
To sum up,let the kitty know you're the boss right away,be careful playing
around kitty,watch out for your toys,and above all,don't let your human see
you chewing on your kitty.
 
Wish us luck,we'll be in a costume contest Saturday,with a little angel and
a butterfly.Just going to show off the fuzzies,but it would be nice to win.
