Something I will most likely come to regret some day is playing “fetch” with my cat and his kibble. It started one day when he had not been eating for a few days and I started to get worried. To try to make it more interesting for him, I tossed a few pieces for him to chase. It worked. He ate again.

However, he now begs me to throw at least a few pieces for him every night. I don’t have to, of course, but he can get so whiney. It’s also fun to watch him scramble after a little piece of dried food. It’s especially entertaining when the kibble starts to ricochet off walls and doors. Amazing eye-paw coordination this kitty has. More amazing is how he can now catch a piece of kibble between his front paws when I toss it in the air. You really gotta see it in person to appreciate the magnitude of this feat. But, since I don’t allow other humans in my apartment (kidding!), I’ve tried to capture it on video. He can do it with a bit more finesse than this, but I cannot get the camera to cooperate.

Refresh to see it again.

And for his next trick, he will eat a whole watermelon.
