Step 4Teach kitty to carry it in her mouth
I dont have a pic for this, but this is the most important part!
For my kitten, Dorothy, I took her into a small room (the bathroom). I then sat on one side of the room and after I teased her with the bag/ ball a little, I tossed it to the other side of the room then I, myself, crawled over to the bag/ ball (at this point she will be so interested that you'll probably have to take it from the cat) and put the ball in my mouth and brought it back to where I started.
Let kitty see what you are doing (actually put the ball in your mouth and crawl back to where you started). Do it again. Do it again. Do it again. Keep doing it. I recommend a small room because it makes it easier to go back and forth.
Kitty will eventually learn that with bringing the ball/bag back a reward is in store.

If your cat does this I would make sure to supervise her because though rare occuring sometimes cats can choke on or actually swallow a plastic bag. And do you actually have to put it in ur mouth? Do cats realize that ur mouth is the same as theirs?

Yes, you are correct, animals and people can choke on plastic bags. Do not leave plastic bags lying around your house if there is even a remote chance that anything living in your house could possibly choke on it. Yes, I put the bag in my mouth and would carry it back to the where i threw it from. I think some cats realize that our mouths are the same as theirs, although I am not certain.
