How To Train Your Cat To Play Fetch With You

What is 'fetch'? Fetch is a simple game to play with your pet where you throw an object; as a toy at some distance, and the pet will pick it up then bring it back to you. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Let the cat see the toy. Hold it in your hand or dangle it where the cat can easily see it. Make sure it catches the cat's interest.
2. Toss the toy a short distance and let your cat chase it and play with it for a few seconds. Go get the toy and return to your place.
3. Call the cat by name and encourage her to follow you as you carry the toy. When she follows you, praise her profusely and pet her.
4. Repeat tossing the toy several times, and each time, toss it a little further. Continue to go get the toy, bringing it back to your place and praising your cat each time. Be patient, and eventually kitty will fetch the toy and bring it back to you.
