This is probably a silly post but I got my super skittish kitty who is 12 years to finally play, with ME.

You see in effort to keep Isabell active I've been playing the dangle string game with her for about 30 minutes each day. Well last night before Isabell pounced on it, EG did. He swatted a few times before running off! Well I tried it again this morning and he swatted at it again! I can actually get him to swat at it for a good 30 seconds before he becomes afraid of the toy and hides. I'm so happy! He's never played with me before only Isabell. He was always too afraid of any game I tried when he was a kitten.

As for chasing yeah I tried, he runs in the other direction.


I can get him to swat play with the string, but you have to dangle it in a non-attacking manner and let him pounce. I think eventually I can get him to chase a mouse on a wand game if we slowly work at it. To be honest I had given up on this until he interrupted our game yesterday. Usually I get Isie riled up with games and she'll pounce on EG and they'll have a ball.

EG will also play by himself by batting and chasing balls around as long as they make noise. I'm just so happy.. he played with me for the first time ever. So happy.
