I have a Maine Coon Kitten (well cat now I suppose he's 1 and a bit)Who plays fetch.
I throw a cork for him and he runs after it and brings it back to my feet for me to throw again..
The fun starts when you throw two corks at once - he goes after both but can't fit two in his mouth at the same time so he drops one and picks up the other then looks at the one he's dropped and drops the one he has in his mouth and picks up the dropped one only to look at the one he’s just dropped and drop the one in his mouth in order to pick that one up..
He then gets frustrated and sits growling like a maniac at both corks getting more and more puffed up and crazy with the both of them..
When he's totally insane with the fact he can't pick up two corks at the same time and he's staring at them you make a sharp 'pfffft' noise and he jumps vertically up sometimes to a height of 3 or four feet.
You can't do it often though because he goes mental for days and attacks you in your bed for revenge (usually with a cork in his mouth and growling)
Best not to piss him off really, Maine Coon cats are massive.

I'm told that they keep growing till theyare four years old...
I've had to put in a dog flap for him to get to his cat box..
he costs a fortune to feed too - we have two other normal size cats who bully him like mad because he's only a kitten - It's quite funny to watch as they are half his size if that.

Do you really think I'mgoing to click on a link that says 'fanciers.com/fags' ;)
All this cat malarky rather passes me by - I'm somewhat allergic to cats and try to avoid them as much as possible.

hehemy old dog always used to be really good at catching stuff, but only one at a time. If you threw a ball, she'd catch it. If you threw another, she'd watch it all the way in, look a bit worried, but do nothing about it until it hit her on the head.
