Playtime at My House

October 26, 2019 By: Summer Samba39 Comments

somali cat with dress and desk bell for playtime

Yes, this really is playtime at my house! When my human turns on the studio lights and pulls out a dress and the desk bell, I’m usually right there, purring and just waiting for the fun to begin!

First my human puts the dress on me and I practice my poses for the camera.

Then I get to practice my tricks! I get to ring the desk bell all I want.

Of course I get lots of treats for ringing the desk bell on cue.

Then I practice my High Fives. Oops, I used the wrong paw! I’m supposed to only use my right paw for High Fives.

I also do some paw shakes, and maybe some other tricks that my human wants me to work on. I know most kitties don’t think this looks like playtime, but I think it is all very fun! Plus the whole time I’m doing it, I have my human’s full attention.

Don’t worry, I get to play like a regular kitty too!

    Summer, you have a great work ethic. I should have named my two Somali girls Willful and Obstinate! They don’t want to work…just play, sleep, eat, and cuddle…not necessarily in that order! But they love everyone and are wonderful kitties so I am truly blessed by having them in my life.

    Well done Summer! Isn’t it time to get out the hoodies and the dresses with skulls? It’s getting cooler, in some places, and Halloween is coming.

    I’m not down with all this but at least you get your human’s attention and get her away from the computer. I prefer to yowl rather than ring a service bell.

    Why do kitty cats look so cute, when they use their paws, whether to reach out to touch humans, bat things away, or whatever? It always looks so cute when cats do that!

    Summer, around here, you’d need a sweater on top of your dress…it’s brrr, and dull, and a huge rainstorm is coming.

    Why are you only supposed to use your right paw for high fives? We do understand getting your human’s undivided attention; though, we do miss Binga and her always wanting to get in on the act!

      I’m supposed to use different paws for different tricks. It helps keep me from getting confused.
