I discovered a great game for Stumpy while I'm at work!!!!
I got a Bizzy Kitty play centre thing and she loves it. It's just a box with holes in it, and you put toys in it for them to play with. I have some things in there she can easily get out (small toy mouseys), and some things she has to work at.
Today I put a bunch of small treats in there! I watched her for a while, and it took a fair bit of time for her to get a treat out, but I think she was having fun! It was interesting watching her little brain work to work out the best way to get it. She tried lifting it out, but she couldn't get a grip of it, then trying pulling it out the sides of the box, but kept pushing it aside when trying to pull it out. Then tried using two paws to pull it out, which didn't work because the paws were going in two different holes. Then she got annoyed, and tried to shove her whole head through a hole!!! That was funny, because the hole is half the size of her head. She got annoyed, walked away, came back, looked at it for a bit, then pulled the treat toward a hole in the corner of the box, where she could get leverage against the side of the box, and managed to pull it out! She gobbled it up and looked up at me, and I swear she looked so proud of herself.
She then went back to the box and pulled another treat out the same way first go! After that, she just decided to play with everything else in the box!
It's certainly a good way to keep her occupied throughout the day
