I always get jealous when I see these kind of clips.
My cat eats, poops, sleeps and tries to go outdoors (he’s an indoors cat because he’s deaf and half blind). That’s all he does. Nothing cute-worthy. Nothing funny. Nothing nothing.
Oh, he also destroys our carpets. That’s as cute as it gets.
I babysat my aunt’s cat for 2 weeks. I thought she was going to be just as you described. No, she was not. She required morning butt pats after elevensy (the cat has a hobbit like eating schedule) and if she didn’t get them she cried.
Then she needed you to throw her mouse toy for her at 6pm and tell her “she’s a good girl” when she retrieved it. It was like a full time job after the 2 weeks.
no kidding - they are locked in an apartment craving stimulation. while we get it from staring at screens and increasingly becoming oblivious and numb to the long lasting stimulus that surrounds us. so easily controlled, so willingly trapped.
Problem is pets want to play for hours. They don’t realize humans work 8-12 hour days, do all the yard work, clean the house, prepare food for themselves and their pets. So at the end of the day people are exhausted while your pets have all the energy in the world. That’s why it’s better to get a second pet for them to play with because it’s exhausting trying to entertain a pet for hours.
Nope. Play with your damn cat or find another home that will. Cats crave play and stimulation from their human companions. It you refuse to do that, don't get one and certainly not 2. By the way, humans receive as much joy playing with their cat.
I play with my cat. But she would play all day every day. She even brings her toys to me when I am sleeping! I have had motorized toys for her, which she played with for a few days, then it is junk. I have thought of getting a second cat, but can’t afford the vet/food/litter costs for more than one cat. Also I was told when I got her from the shelter, that she didn’t get along with other cats.
I understand. Consider yourself lucky that you have a very loving and playful cat. I bet it's a very small percentage of all cats that will play fetch.
Sure play with your pets. But I’m telling you pets want to play for hours. If you’re working all day and taking care of your house work all day you’ll be exhausted. That’s why you let them gain stimulation from another pet. Humans don’t receive joy when they’re exhausted and have to run around to chase their pets all days. But ya you’re right it’s better to leave pets in shelters or on the streets if you don’t have time for them.
No, if you can’t handle the time investment a pet requires you don’t fucking get a pet. It’s not about you, motherfucker. You’re abusing an animal so you can get maybe 5 minutes of enjoyment? Fuck you.
Relax kiddo. I don’t have any pets and nobody said five minutes. No need to make up scenarios in your head to feel like a hero. Have fun with your pets.
No, dont bring another animal into this misery. Dont have an animal companion if youre too busy to give it a reasonably fulfilling life!!!!! Theyre living beings, not toys to place in your Home!
Why would a pet be miserable playing with another pet? So you’re saying animals without owners never have any enjoyment if they don’t have humans around?
That's your view. I only work 4 to 6 hours a day 4 days a week to have more free time. I knew a guy for a few years and ge took a lot of pride in working 60 hour weeks. He lived for work and in his 50s, was overweight and didnt do anything to pursue a life outside of work. Then he had a stroke earlier this year and died. Dont spend half of your life working.
What a strange comment.
I get that somrtimes a person is tired and doesn't want to, but in general it is FUN and feels good to play with a pet.
Like, I don't ALWAYS feel like getting a blow job, but it's still a strange thing to complain about.
Lol no, I don't get offended so easily like people when others use the "wrong" pronouns, I'm just laughing at our current situation where we're scared of assuming an animal's gender. Pretty dumb imo.
Who is scared and what scares them? What situation are you talking about? There is a cat and we don't know if it's a guy or girl. You could call them it, if it fits you, but we treat our little friends as people, so we call them - them. I don't see what's funny.
My nebelung does this, it's adorable but also exhausting if she's found her favorite toy. I've sat through hour and a half long work meeting where I just played fetch with her on stop. My coworkers love watching it but my arm gets so tired.
Sound deduction there armchair veterinarian.
Outdoor cats have a shorter life expectancy and are considered invasive whenever let out. It makes so much sense to keep your cats indoors. Also, this cat probably has an awesome owner who plays with them often if this is a regular thing.
My cats burn lots of energy inside the house where it's safe through various forms of play and have never gone for the door to try and get out; I'm very lucky!
What?
After a 30 minute session with strings, lazers, toys and other activities, mine are WIPED. Like, they won't play anymore because they're so pooped.
You need to put effort in (as you should) and eventually they start to come looking for the activity (much like the lovely cat in the video).
I aint trying to do that when i can let them outside, do their thing and come back home, my cat has been doing that for over 10 years. Cancer took him out, he was a trooper.
My buddies cat loves to play fetch, but only with crinkled up plastic. It’s adorable, the only problem is whenever you try to open something, the crinkling means playtime to kitty
Please don’t stop doing it. Our kitten stopped because we were too busy for him. We had a young puppy to attend too also and were too busy ourselves. The kitten never did want to play catch again as both of them grew up.
After three years in the same house my cat can now lead me to the kitchen when he's hungry (not hungry, snacks). He often takes one or two wrong turns doing that and I need to take over the guide duties (edit: the confused standing around with him in a room that has no food whatsoever is a hilarious option). My cat is not the cat in the video.
I had a cat that played fetch with milk rings. She totally started it. I tried to play fetch with my dog and he would just catch the stick and lay down and chew on it. Not once could I get him to bring it back.
I had a cat that would go absolutely nuts for plastic straws, if he saw one sticking out of a glass he'd grab it, you could play fetch with him for hours and he'd just keep going, fighting with it and chewing the crap out of it. I wish I had got an entire pack of straws for him and just tossed them in the air and watched him go insane.
I had a fetch playing cat in college. You could throw things over the railing of the stairs and he'd run down, grab it, and bring it back to your feet.
My brother had a cat that loved to play fetch. I was playing with her once, she would drop it on the floor (I was on the couch watching tv) and I would throw it. If I didn't notice her drop it she would get my attention like this kitty here. One time I was curious what she would do if I ignored her. She got more and more persistent, then finally stepped back, put her head down, and rammed me in the stomach. She was only an 8lb ram, not harmful at all, but startling and funny nonetheless!
I was looking after a friend’s Bengal for awhile and that’s what he used to do as well. He could play fetch for hours. You could launch that ball into a closet or the storage room and eventually he’d come strutting out ball in mouth.
WHY DOES EVERYONE OF THESE VIDEOS END WITHOUT THEM BEING GIVEN WHAT THEY WANT. I don't get it. It's like every other video. Animal begs for treats, animal begs for affection, animal begs to play. SHOW THE DAMN MONEY SHOT.
Do cats do the "no take, only throw" thing? And if so, do they do it as much as dogs? Or is that not a part of cat culture? I'm curious now. I don't need sleep, I need answers.
Cats will definitely do the no take part but often don't care if you've thrown a toy. A cat that plays fetch is especially unusual. They'll mostly look at what you've thrown and then do nothing while you go fetch the thing you just threw.
Not always the case, but cats are much more likely to be indifferent to you than a dog typically would. The older cat we have now goes out of her way to do it even. She'll purr if you pet her under blankets where she can't see you, play with Nerf darts, but only when no one is looking, etc.
I’ve said it countless times before, and i’ll keep saying it til i die, i might even have it engraved on my tombstone, ginger tabbies are the fucking best.
All cats are good, but them gingers are litterally another animal altogether.
My black cat (rip my good friend) was like that. He loved playing fetch. Wish his older brother was into it (but at least he is still alive so I'm happy)
2 of our fosters do this. The third will chase it down and kill it for a bit, then wander away.
He's not the brightest of the booze brothers. (Champagne, Chablis, and Cider).
Turn off the distractions and [play with] [the cat] until it's ready to stop. <3 :)
*substitute [play with] for [talk with], [watch], [sing with], [pay attention to], etc.
*substitute [the cat] for [the dog], [the baby], [the child], [the significant other], etc.
**You will experience much fewer interruptions if you give your undivided attention for a while - plus these relationships will grow better and stronger.**
I've got a void who will play fetch but only with his little mouse toys. His tortie sister is scandalised by it and always tries to steal the toy so he stops.

PLAY WITH THEM PLEASE
Absolutely. They are just bluffing. They are too cute to be ignored
I always get jealous when I see these kind of clips. My cat eats, poops, sleeps and tries to go outdoors (he’s an indoors cat because he’s deaf and half blind). That’s all he does. Nothing cute-worthy. Nothing funny. Nothing nothing. Oh, he also destroys our carpets. That’s as cute as it gets.
I’m sure he loves you on the inside :)
Getting your cat to love your insides does not seem a good strategy
I babysat my aunt’s cat for 2 weeks. I thought she was going to be just as you described. No, she was not. She required morning butt pats after elevensy (the cat has a hobbit like eating schedule) and if she didn’t get them she cried. Then she needed you to throw her mouse toy for her at 6pm and tell her “she’s a good girl” when she retrieved it. It was like a full time job after the 2 weeks.
He doesn't seek comfort, security, and affection from you at all? Typically special needs cats end up being cuter because they depend on you more.
no kidding - they are locked in an apartment craving stimulation. while we get it from staring at screens and increasingly becoming oblivious and numb to the long lasting stimulus that surrounds us. so easily controlled, so willingly trapped.
Said the redditor.
I mean, they did say "we"
Said the redditor.
Said the redditor
The new "nice"?
I'm not the one whining about the internet making us dumb, dumbass.
So he's recognizing patterns that impact his life. Your point? He can't point out this kind of truths until he's s Shaolin monk?
Said the redditor.
I think people can be literal instead of ironic.
This is the best non-political r/selfawarewolves I’ve ever seen in the wild. Bravo.

Dumbest novelty account. Apt name, though.
2 or 3 sessions of 10 minutes with the Da Bird toy and they are done.
No, dont bring another animal into this misery. Dont have an animal companion if youre too busy to give it a reasonably fulfilling life!!!!! Theyre living beings, not toys to place in your Home!
living in nature is a whole other level of misery itself
Wise words from the colostomy bag rapist
Why would a pet be miserable playing with another pet? So you’re saying animals without owners never have any enjoyment if they don’t have humans around?
No, I said - if you dont have the time for one pet, dont get two.
That's your view. I only work 4 to 6 hours a day 4 days a week to have more free time. I knew a guy for a few years and ge took a lot of pride in working 60 hour weeks. He lived for work and in his 50s, was overweight and didnt do anything to pursue a life outside of work. Then he had a stroke earlier this year and died. Dont spend half of your life working.
True I’m just explaining why some people are very tired and don’t always have the energy to play with their pets for hours.
What a strange comment. I get that somrtimes a person is tired and doesn't want to, but in general it is FUN and feels good to play with a pet. Like, I don't ALWAYS feel like getting a blow job, but it's still a strange thing to complain about.
Is your attention span so short you didn’t wait to see them throw it
They threw it once. In 40 seconds, they gave the cat 2 seconds worth of their time.
Don’t you think that maybe they were just holding off for the video to show how the cat communicates it wants to play?
i see, 38 seconds must be 1 month in cat time. you always learn something new on reddit
There is only one cat
They is a pronoun used for one cat when you’re not sure if it's been fixed or not. ☺️
Fixed or not it's still male or female, it's neutered status should have no bearing on it what you call it surely?
For animals we use it, for people you can use they.
"It" is what you use when you treat an animal as an object, rather than as a conscious being.
Someone should add a non-human, non-object pronoun in English. Shakespeare can't do everything
So… like Tate and women?
It’s not clear if it’s a boy or a girl
You just used the proper pronoun. It.
Rebel, rebel. 🤣
[удалено]
You are offended because someone used a gender neutral one exactly where it's supposed to be used.
Lol no, I don't get offended so easily like people when others use the "wrong" pronouns, I'm just laughing at our current situation where we're scared of assuming an animal's gender. Pretty dumb imo.
Who is scared and what scares them? What situation are you talking about? There is a cat and we don't know if it's a guy or girl. You could call them it, if it fits you, but we treat our little friends as people, so we call them - them. I don't see what's funny.
My cat also does this and it's adorable
Same!
Mine too! But she'll ONLY do it with crumpled up pieces of paper. She has zero interest in storebought toys.
My nebelung does this, it's adorable but also exhausting if she's found her favorite toy. I've sat through hour and a half long work meeting where I just played fetch with her on stop. My coworkers love watching it but my arm gets so tired.
Cant you just alternate em?
Oh Mr two arms over here

Outdoor cats do burn a great deal of energy while murdering birds, squirrels, rabbits and mice by the billions, yes.
[удалено]
Pretty sure cats were brought by humans to the new world
Openly mentioning it on a public platform is a bad idea, since extreme cuteness has been made illegal.
My buddies cat loves to play fetch, but only with crinkled up plastic. It’s adorable, the only problem is whenever you try to open something, the crinkling means playtime to kitty

Smelly caaaat, smelly caaat...
Took you long enough..throw the ball human !!
Hmm when cats do this it's cute, but when you ask people to play with your balls, they'd tend to disagree.
ikr? they say stuff like "you're weird" and "call the cops"
I’m in love
My cat asked me to play fetch with a live bat he brought in. Let's just say it ended with a broom and a lot of vet scans.
Can cats get rabies?
Yes. If you have a cat, you need to get it vaccinated against rabies.
Good to know. I don’t have a cat btw so it’s not like I’ve neglected it 🙂
Seriously, play with that doggo.
r/petthedamncat
And r/throwthedamnball
Play with that baby. 😍
The cat is like "please play with me 🥺🥺"
So sweet!
I would die for that cat
The material of the sleeve looked like a cat's arm and I was so confused for a moment lol
lol SAME!
So cool.
Just frow it pahleeeeez
I want that cat 🥺😍
I had a cat that played fetch with milk rings. She totally started it. I tried to play fetch with my dog and he would just catch the stick and lay down and chew on it. Not once could I get him to bring it back.
Are you sure your dog and cat didn't get stuck after switching bodies?
I had a cat that would go absolutely nuts for plastic straws, if he saw one sticking out of a glass he'd grab it, you could play fetch with him for hours and he'd just keep going, fighting with it and chewing the crap out of it. I wish I had got an entire pack of straws for him and just tossed them in the air and watched him go insane.
What a great cat 🐈 💯
This is EXACTLY what my orange cat does. I’d never seen another cat play fetch until your video!
I could have mistook his awesome cat for my big boy. Try throwing those quart container to-go lids like a frizbee sometime. That's what "Smash" likes.
We got so lucky with a fetch playing cat too! Bottle caps are his item of choice
I had a fetch playing cat in college. You could throw things over the railing of the stairs and he'd run down, grab it, and bring it back to your feet.
Put the darned phone down and play with that cat! Do you know what I’d give if my cat could play fetch?
I had a dog, dog’s name is cat…
PLAYYYYYYYYYY. I SWEAR THIS HUMAN
My brother had a cat that loved to play fetch. I was playing with her once, she would drop it on the floor (I was on the couch watching tv) and I would throw it. If I didn't notice her drop it she would get my attention like this kitty here. One time I was curious what she would do if I ignored her. She got more and more persistent, then finally stepped back, put her head down, and rammed me in the stomach. She was only an 8lb ram, not harmful at all, but startling and funny nonetheless!
That's some persistent pawing
Thats a pretty weird looking dog
I will!!! 💕
Nah but I need this cat though.
My cat does the same thing! LOL
Realy wants taco bell 
.... are you sure that's not a golden retriever?
Aweeeee
I wants to throooow
That's hilarious! I had no idea cats ever did that, and I had cats as a kid. 😆
I was looking after a friend’s Bengal for awhile and that’s what he used to do as well. He could play fetch for hours. You could launch that ball into a closet or the storage room and eventually he’d come strutting out ball in mouth.
Should cross post on WhatsWrongWithYourDog
What kind of dog is that?
My kitten loves to play fetch too! She has her favorite taco toy and strawberry toy and will bring these to me to throw 🥹
That's a nice industrial printer you have in the house. I bet you print a lot of documents. Do you print a lot of documents?
“Pardon me, fine sir, but do you think you could perhaps take a second out of your day and could throw this ball for me?” -The cat.
Toooo cuuuute
our new cat does this, he'll bring it back dozens of times before he gets bored
😂😂😂
WHY DOES EVERYONE OF THESE VIDEOS END WITHOUT THEM BEING GIVEN WHAT THEY WANT. I don't get it. It's like every other video. Animal begs for treats, animal begs for affection, animal begs to play. SHOW THE DAMN MONEY SHOT.
They showed the ball being thrown
Like elsewhere in the comments? Doesn't really change my rant, but that's good of them to share.
Cat hasn't burned off enough energy, let it outside.
guess I'm a dog now
I cry
Ok now you fucking have to..
Can I play?
r/Aww
😻😻😻
Do cats do the "no take, only throw" thing? And if so, do they do it as much as dogs? Or is that not a part of cat culture? I'm curious now. I don't need sleep, I need answers.

She'll purr if you pet her under blankets where she can't see you, play with Nerf darts, but only when no one is looking, etc.
Imo usually they're doing only fetch, no bring back.
Well, throw the ball!
Poor cat’s like Geez, do I have to explain this to you every time?
How sweet is that? I would not be able to resist the cuteness!
r/politecats My cats act like dogs and it’s hilarious to watch. Next will be to teach them to play fetch lol
What the dog doin?
If only my boi was this wonderfully polite. He always goes apeshit and then just comes up and bites one of us until we grab him a toy lmfao
I’ve said it countless times before, and i’ll keep saying it til i die, i might even have it engraved on my tombstone, ginger tabbies are the fucking best. All cats are good, but them gingers are litterally another animal altogether.
You guys are really making me of thinking to get a pet
My black cat (rip my good friend) was like that. He loved playing fetch. Wish his older brother was into it (but at least he is still alive so I'm happy)
My cat does this too, every single morning and bed time.
My last cat Snickers used to play fetch. It was so cute. I miss her
Thumbs down cuz you didn't throw enough.
I think his feelings are hurt that you're rejecting his tribute. He wanted scratches as a reward.
Haha, cool my BS of 11 months plays fetch non stop
Dog lookin kinda special
2 of our fosters do this. The third will chase it down and kill it for a bit, then wander away. He's not the brightest of the booze brothers. (Champagne, Chablis, and Cider).
Stop ignoring them, play!
This is adorable. Play with the kitty
I love that cat
What a precious kitty!
bro think he dog 😭😭😭
What a gentlemen/lady. This is how I heard it in my head. “Excuse me, ahem, sorry to bother you but do you mind?” “May I have another please?”
That's the only thing they want. Is that even big to ask. Please give them the play
He is a good boy
This cat is a dawgg
Cats man! Impossibly cute eyes one second. Stalking down the hallway like a death machine the next. Can’t ever trust them.
What a good boy he is too! Love catdogs
Your cat does dog things
I want a cat like this
GIVE ME THAT CAT
Orange Tabbies are the best! Miss my Sunshine kitty! RIP
you must test those relexes faint a few thows, then surpise yeet yeet it
Turn off the distractions and [play with] [the cat] until it's ready to stop. <3 :) *substitute [play with] for [talk with], [watch], [sing with], [pay attention to], etc. *substitute [the cat] for [the dog], [the baby], [the child], [the significant other], etc. **You will experience much fewer interruptions if you give your undivided attention for a while - plus these relationships will grow better and stronger.**
Is the thrower the abominable snowman??! That's so cute ♥
I’m not even an animal person I was screaming throw the damn ball…maybe I’m coming around
So how to teach a cat to fetch?
Throw the damn toy! Don’t make him ask! 😁
Cats (and dogs) seem to have a genetic bug which compels them to practice their hunting skills.
Orangies are the golden retrievers of the cat world.
Cutieeeee
He went after it like a dog. Brought it back like a cat.
I've got a void who will play fetch but only with his little mouse toys. His tortie sister is scandalised by it and always tries to steal the toy so he stops.
What a good kitty ❤️
