Did you ever try...Making a cat dizzy. I once got slightly drunk and whilst stroking the cat with him in my arms, spun around as fast as I could for a few seconds before placing him gently back on the ground. If you try this at home, make sure there's lots of room... Chairman Miaow ran off as fast as he could - directly sideways and proceded to fall of a 10 foot ledge onto a gorse bush. He didn't let me pick him up ever again!

Things to do with cats #34Did you know that if you wrap a newspaper around a cats body, leaving its legs free and secure it with sellotape, it can only walk sideways? Spooky.

more things to do with cats: the bean bag 'cat'apultstep 1: flatten all the beans out of one end of a bean bag
step 2: place a preferably sleepy cat on the flattened end
step 3: do a 'cannonball' onto the large end of the beanbag and watch your cat go flying. good idea to do this around a bed or a couch.
Simulacrum and verisimilitudeOnce and once only, I found an aerosol can of catnip spray. I gave my cat a blast in the face and got a similar dizzy reaction as your cat. Unfortunately, no gorse bush was near, nor ledge, but it was a riot to see the stoned kitty wobble around and flop onto his face.
He didn't seem to mind at all and finished up with a nice nap.
