Our cat likes to play fetch.

Nice log

All natural, free scratching post 🙂

Nonsense. A dog wouldn't give the toy back that easily.

One of ours plays fetch with bottle caps!

It's not so much that ours plays fetch, it's that she knows the toys don't move on their own. So when she feels like playing, she picks one of her many toys strewn around the house and literally brings it to us to animate it.

If it's a mouse like in this video, she expects us to throw it, and she brings it back as many times as she wants us to throw it again. If it's a string-on-a-stick toy, we're supposed to shake the thing at the end of the string and she pretends she doesn't know it's just us shaking the stick, until she gets tired.

Ive had a lot of cats and they all liked to play fetch. They are hunters, after all, so this game is great fun for them.

Ours would just look at you like you are stupid.

We've had plenty of cats, and most - if not all of them - simply didn't care about toys: we'd buy them toys, they'd play with them for 10 seconds and then leave them there.

The difference with this one is, all our previous cats were free to go outside. All of them were very happy to bring us back dead mice and birds, much to our dismay. But none of them would fetch a fake critter over and over, and happily play with the same clearly-fake toys.

This one does because she's never been outside: we currently live in a country that doesn't allow free-roaming cats, so I don't think she's known anything other than fake prey before we adopted her. That's why she still plays with her toys.

This will change in a 2 months though, as I'm having a large fenced-off park build in the backyard for her to catch some fresh air and enjoy a bit of nature lawfully. I fully expect her to abandon her toys once she discovers the real thing.

Not definitely - our three weren't allowed outside until their 1st birthday, but since that (they're almost 4) they come and go as they please during daylight hours (we're in the UK where this is normal). All three still play fetch, but only with specific types of toys.

One fetches fluffy toys with feather "tails", one fetches sweet wrappers or bits of paper and one fetches old cat collars (which is very useful - if one loses their collar, he normally picks it up and brings it home for us). Collar-fetcher and wrapper-fetcher get bored a bit quicker these days, but feather-toy-fetcher will play fetch for ages.

I really think that video site should reevaluate their color scheme...

What's wrong with it?
Genuinely curious: it doesn't strike me as particularly strange...

The black and dark yellow is reminiscent of PornHub

Ah right. I didn't make the connection. I guess I don't patronize PornHub enough 🙂
