Playtime Fail

February 20, 2020 By: Summer Samba31 Comments

somali cat in turret, stretching

Sometimes my human worries that I don’t get enough time doing regular kitty stuff. So she decided I needed some playtime. She knew that I had been batting this cheap little Cat Dancer toy around, so she thought she’d use it to tempt me into a play session. The only thing is, I was sound asleep when she went to the turret and called for me. And I am not one of those kitties who wakes up right away. It takes me a while (just like my human!).

Like, a long while!

It quickly became clear that I wasn’t that interested in the toy. So my human decided to try something else.

She pulled out this sparkly wand toy and it was a bit more interesting.

I considered playing with it for a few moments.

Then I changed my mind. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll want some playtime around 11 PM. Just like a regular kitty.

    11 PM is a good playtime. And I like 10 PM, too. Those Cat Dancers sure are a hoot. I got a new one for Christmas. I also have one in my toy basket that looks a little worse for the wear, ’cause I’ve played with it lots over the years. Tummy tickles.

    Well, the kittie tells the Being when to play, not the other way around!

    The first three shots are really great, especially the first one. The lighting and Summer’s movements really make them special. Her posed shots are always lovely. But action shots are fun too.

    Yeah, that looked way too early for us too. We love to play mostly at night! Some of us here go crazy with the zoomies at night too. Mom and dad love it. It makes them laugh. Ok, time to nap now. Purrs

    You are too funny, Summer! The two times Mudpie is raring to go is early in the morning (unfortunately) and late at night.

    If you are not ready to play, nothing will change that. I hope you were able to go back to bed.

    Yes, cats will only play when they are ready to do so. You just needed a little longer nap.

    You weren’t interested in the Cat Dancer? MOUSES! That’s my favourite toy of all. I like their Cat Teaser, too. You ever try that one? purrs

    If it crinkles or is shiny, Da Boyz are on it in a heartbeat.
    But then again, they both try to chew on the drawstrings from my winter coat…

    You can’t make a cat play when she doesn’t want to. 😉

    Maybe you need to go back to bed! Actually, I thought
    MOST cats were up early and waking their human(s) for
    breakfast. You look great first thing in the A.M. though.

    Sometimes it takes us a while to wake up too.
    Sometimes it depends on the toy 😉

    I’m distracted by sparkly things too!
    I also am very slow to wake, & I’d rather play at nighttime-maybe i’m a cat?! Lol
    Hope you have a better play session next time.
