The Box Game

October 11, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat43 Comments

Do you think I even hesitated?

My human has a game she plays with me. She tosses one of my current favorite treats into a box. You probably know what happens next.

Action shot!

If I did not know better, I would think the whole point of this game was to get photos of me in motion.

There's never any private moments around here.

Of course, after a while all this fun drew a crowd.

Funny how nobody got in the box but me

My human got rid of Binga by tossing a treat far, far away. Boodie, for some reason, did not follow.

She is wondering where her treat is.

In fact, a while later, hours after the game was over, my human found Boodie, being a copycat and sitting in the box. I think she expected a treat to magically appear there.

Does your human think up any fun games for you? I’d love it if you told me about some of them in the comments!

    Boy that treat must have been thrown far, far away to have NO Binga in sight! Boodie looks very happy in that box (-:

    Box games are great fun. Once, we had a box that was so big my mom got in it! I thought that was a little strange and didn’t know what to do.

    Surely Boodie “found” a treat in that box?

    We are all pretty non-participatory when it comes to games; though, several of us like the fling-a-ma-string and the Cat’s Meow (not made up games). Mom plays laser with us (again not made up). Astrid and Calista play the hardest. We think mom must not be very imaginative. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo

    My cats are usually the ones making up games for me…not vice versa. One of the favourites is “beat mom up the stairs…trip her for extra points”. Another popular one is “who will wake mom up first”…

    We play the same game only we use toys. Never thought of treats. Good idea. Garfield loves when my son blows on him or chases him. Sometimes he will play fetch. The others love any kind of string toy or feathers.

    Loupi : I love to play “catch me if you can” in the garden with Mum. She says I’m cheating every time I climb on a tree !
    Zorro : I often play “hide and seek” with Dad ; the game ends when I find Dad and catch him… eeehhh… with claws and teeth ! Mum is no fun, she never plays this game with me… Purrs

    Well, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, Sparkle. I guess Boodie recognizes your wisdom … hope she got a treat after that long wait.

    Some times we get magical sticks popping out from under our favorite sleeping spots. It’s impossible to catch the darn thing!

    You know what my fave game is: rockets!! When TW has a box, she usually tosses the current fave cat toy into it. Mostly, I could care less. I also love to play tag and have TW chase me through all my tunnels.

    My human plays hide and seek with me sometimes. And then we chase each other. She probably would not appreciate that I’m telling you that ;-P

    My human pretends to be asleep at 5am and we take turns trying to wake her up. When she does get up, she locks us out of the bedroom but then we push the door open again. This goes on for about 5-10 times before she finally gets up and feeds us. Does this count as a game? 🙂 Meow and Namaste! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini

    Hope beautiful Boodie got a treat…Our Mom gives us blanket mice from time to time…you never know when they will sneak into the house…She will throw treats so we have to chase after them and we have to be really quick because with seven of us there is a lot of competition! We have lots of toys but she should rotate them more often…and playtime should last longer but Mom is old and slow and tired…she naps more than we do…She takes a nap to recover from her previous nap!

    The best game that we play is who can win the race to the kitchen. The six cats or the Person. Every time she stands up, it is a race to the kitchen and believe me, us kitties win every time. She does need to think up some more games for us. Take care.

    The woman plays a great game with us. It’s called stair trip. The object of the game is for us to try and trip the woman while she’s going either up or down the stairs. We get extra points if she’s carrying something. Sometimes we try to get a two for one when she’s carrying the sticky person.

    Our head peep tried something similar recently, but she made the mistake of putting catnip in the box to try to get Pierre inside. Epic box smackdown. Glad you at least got to sit in the box by yourself!
