Flashlight Kitty!  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423) 3 years ago

So, I have three cats. Only two of them seem to be falling for my trick. I had a flashlight the other day, trying to find something, and Toby ended up trying to catch it, the same way cats try to catch the laser lights. Anyways...so, now it's become a daily game for them. Even our oldest who is really not all that playful lately, got into the game. For awhile, when they tried to get it, I turned it off, so they'd think they got the little "bug" or whatever it was, they thought it was, but then it'd just come back later. Let me tell you, those cats went NUTS (even though they're both sick, they were both playing their hearts out with it) over it, but then I tried to get our baby cat (he is not a kitten, but he is the "baby" of the group to me) to play with it and he looked at me like "How dumb do you think I am?" lol. He would NOT even try to catch it. He was just like, "Okay mom, that's cool, you have a light. What am I supposed to do with that?" lol

I got a pen light with different caps that you could put on it. The cats didn't appear to be too thriled with it, but its cute how some cats go for it. I had a reflective band on a wrist watch once and the cats fell in love over it. Yet the penlight I'd gotten for them to play with didn't appeal to them one bit.

lol I love how sometimes when you try to get them to play with one thing, they find something else that totally interests them. They really are like eternal children. They never really grow up, do they? happy

You should get one of those red "laser" pointers...I guarantee all of them will go after it.

I used to run my cats up the curtains chasing after one...


myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423)  3 years ago

lol I will do so!! I know that cats I've had in the past loved those things. In fact, I don't even know why we don't have one in this house right now. blink I do have to say though that this flashlight had the newest addition to the house looking up at the ceiling, trying to jump up there lol

Lol Cherish my Cats used to love that and my Son would play for hours with them like that lol 4 of them chasing after it pushing each other out of the way I used to love watching them carry on lol


myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423)  3 years ago

lol!! The two that were actually playing with it didn't seem to fight over it. Actually, it seemed to be a bonding experience for them which is great cause one of them is still new to the house! (Got Toby a week ago, I believe. I'm losing track of time cause of stress). I don't know why it's funny to me that the youngest cat is like "I don't get what's so amusing about that" lol

Curious creatures, cats. I have six cats myself and all of them have their own personality, their own likes and dislikes and therefore also games they enjoy or not. As far as I know all of my cats like the flashlight game, except for my one kitty that is blind (he might have enjoyed it if I could see it but there is no fun in a game if you aren't able to participate). My blind kitty does like to play though and he's very agily and fast, but games he enjoy mostly envolve toys that make a noise (rinkly balls and such) or those vibrating mouses you can get at the petshop.


Bollie, my blind kitty

myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423)  3 years ago

Bollie is so cute. One of my favorite charities is a charity that helps blind cats called Blind Cat Rescue (blindcatrescue.com). A lot of their cats seem playful!! It's a shame that cats who are blind get put to sleep sometimes, as if they could not survive, but look at your cat and all those at that rescue. Anyway, sorry for getting sorta off topic. I bet your cat is a riot to be around :) He is adorable.

Thank you so much, he is the best! A co-worker once asked me when I was putting him to sleep because he had a bad eyesight (he wasn't completely blind back then, it has progressed over time and now he is completely blind. It has taken one and a half year to get that far). I was shocked! He can do everything just fine as long as we don't move things around the house and talk to him before we pet him so he doesn't get scared. He's just fine. I will look into that website as it sounds like a website I would want to contribute to, thanks for the tip!
No worries if it's a bit off topic, it's about blind cats that are still able to play so it's sort off counter-related, lol wink.


myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423)  3 years ago

I am glad you guys kept him alive and well and opened your hearts to him. So many wouldn't, that's what frustrates me. We don't put people to sleep for being blind or having poor eyesight. Why should we put animals to sleep for that reason? sad Unless the poor eyesight is actually causing them a ton of pain, I don't see any reason to put a poor blind kitty to sleep. They still have a beating heart, a lot of love and life to share! Anyways, I'm glad that you're interested in contributing to them. I always use GoodSearch and pick them to be the one GoodSearch donates to. GoodSearch is a search engine that every time you use it, the company GoodSearch, will donate a certain amount to the charity, without YOU spending a dime and they also have a thing where if you shop at certain places online, they'll donate a certain % to Blind Cat Rescue if you choose them, but I have given them my own money before too. I gave them my babysitting money. They do a lot for these cats and they are one of the few charities I trust. thumbup If I had a million dollars, they'd be the top charity I donated to!

I haven't heard of goodsearch before but it sounds like a good way to contribute without any effort. If everyone would start using this search engine imagine what we could do without having to pay a penny (especially for people who want to contribute but have little money to spare). I agree that top priority is that the cat can manage hisself and is happy, and he can happy/


myLot reputation of 93/100. cherishxbunny (1423)  3 years ago

I wish it was more known too. But because so many people focus on Google, it is not well known. I would say they should advertise it more, but the problem with that, is they need to save money to give out to these charities. Still...it's a great charitable site and idea. I'm glad to hear that Bollie is happy and well. happy
