My 12yr old kitty just discovered a plastic measuring cup I had on top of my fridge- Now she's beating the crap out of it. Chasing it around the house, carrying it about. Funny stuff.

One of our cats drags small stuffed animals around and treats them like kittens. The other likes to sit on top of my monitor and bat at the mouse pointer or the people on screen in video games.

When I water the hanging basket outside, my cat likes to watch the drops of water fall out the bottom and then tries to catch them. :p

The kittens we got about a month ago love chasing anything. Jess likes this little toy mouse we got for them, but Max likes this old tennis ball we have. They're so cute, they just started wanting to venture outside onto the patio.

They usually just play with eachother and climb all anything they can find. It's fun to watch.

We had a cat who was entranced by the Lion King. No other movie, not even similar animations, but the Lion King would keep this cat's attention for the whole movie.

Mine goes freakin crazy when she sees plastic straws. She'll jump up on you and pull it right out of your drink. :D She's a cutie.

Oh, the kittens also like to attack shadows and if they see their reflection in the window, they go after it. It's cute.

Well of course cats love laser pointers, but mine doesn't just go after it when you shine it. It will pick up the thing with its claw (its on a key ring) and when you have it he'll go crazy and twitch his head looking down at the floor trying to figure where it's going to go.

I didn't think cats would be smart enough to put 2 and 2 together and realize that the laser is coming from the pointer but...

he's pretty smart!
