my son, the puppy
🕑 Added 2024-11-25 20:25:24 +0000 UTCThis summer I adopted a kitten. I named him Robert. He's 7 months old now, so he's getting long and tall, but still so full of energy. If you've had cats before, none of this is new. You know. I don't gotta tell you how fun kittens are, right?
But Robert does something that I've never experienced with a cat before, and honestly, I don't even see it in many dogs. And that is: Robert likes to play fetch.
He has this grubby little orange puffball that he likes to bat around. A few months back, I'm sitting on the living room floor watching a movie and he walked up to me with the ball in his mouth and dropped it in my lap. I chucked it, and he chased it, picked it up and brought it back. And now it's a nightly game.
So I recorded him doing it recently, and thought I'd share it with you here, because it's Thanksgiving week, and you possibly want a distraction from thinking about family and travel.
Enjoy! And happy holidays!

He's the cutest kitty I've seen in ages <3 <3 <3 Thank you so much for sharing this with us *w*

The chase? 100% dog. The languorous saunter back? 5000% cat.

Well, this cat has had zero exposure to any sport whatsoever, at least in the last 16.5 years (he was 2 when we got him)

The thing I love the most about this is that he doesn't run back to you the way a dog playing fetch would; he races to pounce on his fuzzy orange puff and then strolls casually back to you with it. Peak cat fetch 😹

Hahahaaa!!! I thought he was going to relax after the second chuck... but then... he sprung into action out of nowhere! Does he also do that with the mouse-like-thing on the left side? So much love in the voice that talks to him too! This is so nice to see, thank you very much for sharing!

Our lil girl used to do this with fuzzy mice. Then she stopped bringing them back. I had another cat that did the same thing, but with bottle caps. It’s so cute and endearing when they want to play with us

I love Robert so much! How did you teach him fetch...or did he teach you fetch?
Trisha
Ahh!! What a cutie pie 🩷 My childhood cat Casper who looked similar but all white did the same thing but only with hair ties and crumpled up aluminum foil lol

My orange tabby Remy thinks he’s a Husky, he constantly talks to himself and loves to roughhouse with my husband. He’ll play fetch with a corduroy catnip mouse but there’s a 50% chance he’ll bring it back 😂 He also plays catch with himself with a cloth catnip banana, it’s fantastic

Oh, what an absolute baby. He's precious.

Haha my cat Cookie does exactly the same!! They’re so clever..

My cat Meerkat fetched hairbands when she was younger! Now she makes me do it for her. Expect to be trained by Robert.

My friend had a cat that did that; maybe from watching his dad play tennis!

Robert used to be a dog 🙂↕️

My Luna(tic) plays fetch with herself. She will carry a dingleball up to the top of the stairs and let it go, then she chases it down the stairs and does the whole thing again multiple times. It’s “mostly cute” because it’s not cute at 2am.

So sweet! I had a cat that played fetch with (unused) rubber earbud covers. She never swallowed them but would only bring them all the way back if you weren’t looking, otherwise figuring you could come get it

Adorable

Awww, who's a good boy?

PRECIOUS.

My dumb baby understands running after it and even brings it back halfway but cannot complete the job. Good on yours for having the brain cells! 😅

Adorbs. ♥

Robert is gorgeous. I've had a couple of cats who play fetch! My current boy prefers to smack a toy out of the air back to me like he's playing volleyball.
Arline Babka
Thank you for sharing this. My Gretal, who was 14, passed just over a month ago. When she was younger she loved playing fetch with my husband. Robert is carrying on the tradition ❣️

My friend's cat plays fetch, he's called Sherlock. He also knows where his treats are kept and will go get the bag and bring it to you when he wants one
Tika Majere
Mine, too! She brings her plastic spring back half the time. The other half of the time, she drops it halfway, walks to me, and starts demanding I throw it. The other cat just watches, confused why she even likes this game
Mary Golosinski
Fetch cat! What a good boy. I also have a fetch cat. They are marvelous oddities.
Nicholas Genualdi
That is the cutest thing I've seen all day! Thank you for this.
Kyrie Jancin
What a beautiful boy! Ya know those little measuring cups that come on the top of liquid medicine bottles? My first cat I ever had was OBSESSED with playing fetch with those. He’d steal them from wherever he could find them and bring them to us to chuck across the room for him 😂
Azaria Jade
My kitty, Avdol, does the same thing! Little kitty puppies
Britiny Stofen
This is the first post that popped up since being a WTNV patron and oh wow the CUTENESS. definitely worth the sub 👍👍👍
Julia Diem
My childhood cat would do this, except he'd bat it under the couch every single time so I'd have to fish it out. Your cat is beautiful!
Philip Thoman
What a little cutie!
