A difficult play issue--


“Dear Cocoa,

I love my play time so very much; but my pets are not into the playing.  They toss things onto the floor quite often, but when I try to play with them, they yell and snatch them away.  Is this some kind of game I’m supposed to know about?  Or is this their way of torturing me?  Please explain.

Signed Needs an Explanation”

“Dear Needs an Explanation,

Your pets have definitely challenged you to a battle of speed and endurance.  They are purposely dropping things that are fun to eat or play with onto the floor and the challenge is to see who can grab the item and get it out of the way faster.  I know that you, as a feline, can snatch that item before it even hits the floor and can be in another part of the house with it before your pets even realize the item is gone.  Don’t give up on this.  Practice, practice, practice.  Before long you will be faster than any of your pets and you will win the contest.  Of course, then you will have to create another game, but I have faith that you will succeed in that aspect with ease.  Have fun!

Signed Cocoa”
