Rizzo taught himself to fetch
Rizzo likes to amuse himself with the rings from plastic milk jugs. He'll
chase one all over the house for hours, and work himself into rolling and jumping fits. (Jack, on the other hand, will play with it for two minutes, gnaw it into bite-sized pieces, and eat it. Rizzo then looks at me balefully for a replacement ring.) Two days ago, I gave him one to play with, and I noticed he would jump up on the arm of the couch on which I was sitting and drop the ring next to me. Of course it fell down under the cushion, but I fished it out and gave it back to him. He kept doing this over and over. It took about ten repeitions before it entered my bourbon-shattered brain that he was playing fetch. I tossed the ring across the room, and he would grab it, race back, and drop it next to me. He's chased thrown toys since I brought him home, but he never showed any inclination of fetching them. This came totally out of the blue, and without any incentive or reward on my part. These cats never cease to amaze me. |

... Seems like Rizzo taught you to play fetch. Smart kitty indeed. The things that Jack and Rizzo have "trained" me to do are still vastly more enjoyable than burdensome, so I'm still well ahead on the deal. |
