Step 6See Spot Fetch

See Spot Fetch
I did a lot of reading on this (about 15 minutes worth) and used the methods that I've explained. My new found kitten seems to be a natural at fetching. Check her out!

Sooooo cute! Can't believe you got the kitty to actually fetch. Mine would probably think I lost my mind if I tried to teach her something like this.

When my cat was little she used to put her hands in the food bowl and growl. I don't know why maybe it was because she shared a food bowl with my other cat but she grew out of it

She is EXCEPTIONALLY enthusiastic!!!   I love this, I had a little black and white cat once, who would play fetch and taught himself how to use the toilet!!! REALLY !! it was awesome......scared me to death, cause I heard someone peeing and was home alone..... so that's who I saw when I peeked in the bathroom, was soooo impressed, never had another cat play fetch or do that!  Yours is awesome!! Enjoy.

this is kinda creepy. I found a cat outside in a bush and brought herhome. Then i ran to the pet store and bought her those little mice withthe catnip in them... and if i threw one she would bribg it right back!!She must be a natural. Also your cat is adorable.

So cool, I just adopted a little ball of fluff myself and i'll have to try my hand at kitty training. 3 years on does your kitty still fetch?

That's really cute. Hopefully I can teach my feline to do the same.

I have two cats (black) and they both play fetch. Cats CAN be trained, it just takes patience and a good relationship with the cat. Better when they are younger I think because they are more energetic then.

I love how you say "Thanks!" to your cat when she brings back the ball. Lovely job!

My kitty loves to chase those hi-bounce balls, but she brings them halfway back, and then screams at me to throw it again. It's cute to watch her scramble and chase the ball, especially when it bounces over her head and she has to scramble back! I stumbled on this game when I got tired of her pushing it around at my feet and threw it, and to my delight, she chased it like her tail was on fire! The only training on her part is the screaming part, and I won't throw it again till she's nice and brings it back to me. ;p

Thanks for sharing. If my cat can bring me unwanted critters that he has caught I'm sure he can learn to fetch . . . but first I have to train myself to slow down and take time to teach him.

I thought all cats did this naturally. my three have all played this game with anything i had handy without any coaxing on my part. when i take them camping, maudite will even play the game without me and take it upon herself to sneak out of the tent in the middle of the night and fetch a few shrews for breakfast lol where's the instructable to cat proof zippers?
