my cat plays fetch is that normal?

A long time ago, there was a toy that came in a cereal box called "Wacky Wallcrawlers" . It looked like a small, rubber octopus and when you throw it against the wall, it moved like it was crawling down it. Well, my old cat, Jespah, would take it and bite the legs off. We would then toss it down the hallway and she would bring it back every time. Even when we ignored her, he would jump up on us and drop the toy on our lap or stomach (if we were laying down). She could do this for hours. It was funny. We would buy that cereal just so that we could play with her with that toy because she kept loosing it under a heavy piece of furniture. And, when she lost it, she would look for it over and over for days.

That's adorable. I have had a number of darling cats in my family. Only one (who likes to sleep in my room often) plays fetch. We were thinking we had a genius kitty! So, it does take brain to do that. It's also great exercise, which our cats need! Keep it up. And hey, all of us should videotape that!

I have had cats that fetch. One of them used to play fetch with Qtips. Another one did it with a chewed up cat toy. Right now the weirdest thing one of my cats does is she runs on a mirror. She stands on her back legs and with her front legs she runs, like she's pawing at the mirror. I call it "kitty treadmill time".

thats so cuuuuuuuute ... my cat would never do that.. why dont you take a vedio of it and put it in youtube??? i would love to see that .. you will have a lot of previews in no time im sure if you do it you will be on my favorits ;)

The cat I had as a child played fetch. We had these little foam balls that i would throw for her and she'd bring them back. i don't know if its normal or not but there other cats out there that do fetch. I miss my kitty.

I've had many cats who would play fetch, its just a matter of teaching them as a kitten, and if they do it once, reinforce them positively and keep doing so. Of course, the first cat I ever had who played fetch, also liked to play a game we called "spin the kitty" where he'd get in one of our kitchen chairs that spun on its base and would beg us to spin the chair while he hung on to it for dear life. This was hilarious, he would get dizzy and fall off the chair, then jump back up and demand to go again. It sort of reminded me of the scrambler ride at the fair, lol.

Yes, completely normal! Our tuxedo cat, Tubbles, loved to fetch aluminum foil balls, wads of paper, and rubber bands. He also liked us to pitch a balled-up piece of paper to him so he could swing with one paw and bat it back to us. One word of caution: if by pony tails, you mean the elastic bands to tie hair back with, don't let him play with them when you aren't there. Hair ties, rubber bands, twist ties, all can be swallowed by a cat and cause an obstruction of their intestines. This can be fatal without emergency surgery. He sounds like a great cat! Good luck and a long, happy life together for you both!

My cat izzy plays fetch with me sometimes. We used to play it every morning before I went to school. I think it is really cute when she does it.

oooh how cute and adorable, that your cat really has a thing for playing fetch. I dont know if its normal or not, but its definitely not common. It would be really wonderful if you could tape it, would love to watch it on youtube or something similar.

I think its cool that your cat plays fetch, You should make a video and send it to america's funniest animals.
