The NEW funnest game in the World!

[katt]

(yes I know funnest is not technically grammatically correct lol jsut for the record)
So I found a cheapy little cat teaser for Koda, it is a plastic stick (for the human end) with a long string. Attached to the string at intervals are brightly colored clusters of feathers, and at the bottom a small stuffed mouse. Koda LOVES it! Normally he gets frustrated with teasers pretty quickly bt he chased this one for forever! lol Theeeeen we added the Towel Chase Game (which I have only jsut recently gotten him to play with me). I held a corner of the towel in each hand, and the teaser in one hand as well, laying on top of the towel. I ran with the towel and teaser dragging behind and Koda went nuts! He wasn't sure if he should catch the teaser, play trampoline on the towel, catch the towel (it is a big beach towel, so the teaser was significantly shorter than the towel even though it is long itself), or use the towel to propel himself onto the teaser! He kept over shooting and missing the towel and the teaser. It was VERY entertaining!

Shame you couldn't manage a video recorder in your 5th hand

Naturally I found the video recorder last night after playtime was over. I will have to try the game again and see if he gets that excited again or if it was just from being cooped up. haha And don't you mean my 6th hand? I need my 5th hand to make the teaser wiggle properly!

Oh what I wouldn't do to have 8 hands! I could be SO much more productive! lol

To add another to the list of "NEw Funnest Games in the World" ...

Lay a sheet out flat on a large spot of empty floor, preferably near a dresser and other things that are good "ferret caves." When the fuzzies crawl under it, you can attack them from on top of the sheet (careful to not step on anyone!). Then, what Koda did was run out from under the sheet and under a cave, then back under the sheet for more sheet wrestling, until I caught him. Once you catch your fert, put him on top of the sheet and quickly (before they run off!) grab the corners and shake the sheet all around up and down so that it billows around your now madly war dancing ferret. Then they run back under the sheet for you to wave it some more, then play more sheet wrestling, and repeat! VERY fun!

Sounds to me like bed making It does mean that bed making can take much longer to do but it does make a boring chore much more interesting.

Oh we have a nice teaser that is like the one you describe, although it has a bee on it instead of a mouse. They love to play with that. One thing that we got for them was a stuffed monkey puppet that also makes monkey sounds. Wrestling with them with it on your hand is a hoot. Even Hiro loves it though he can't hear the sounds.

Those are some of my ferts' favorite games....If your brats are like mine, you can add a new dimension to the game buy trying this with bare feet! My favorite is when the get so excite that the chase my husband (and he literally has to RUN) up and onto the bed...he has to call me for help if he wants his feet to survive unscathed!

Undisciplined Brats!

I am always barefoot inside, so Koda actually goes for socks and shoes more than bare feet. lol

[sherrylynne]

I can be barefoot, or have shoes on, and no problems- but socks??? Not a chance those will be left alone I cannot count the number of times I've been trying to get dressed for work in the morning, only to find a ferret hanging off the end of the sock I'm trying to pull onto my foot
