When Gracie was a puppy I had to pick up the balls and put them away when we were done or she would chew the fuzz off the ball. 
A kitten is a great distraction for them! Gracie grew up thinking she was made to herd cats! 
Yeah, it will be great when spring gets here and we can do more things outside again.  |
Bentley is a master at fetch. Would fetch till he dropped. Now toss it twice and he's done now. It's not running off steam or anything. He interacts with one thing for a moment or two and then, ok now for something else. Very strange. I know a hyper dog when I see one, he does not go hyper, just won't stay focused for long. He's just going through this strange ADD stage.
I work and the kids are at school so he has a play yard attached to his kennel. It's not a kennel, it's fricken South Fork(or maybe Wonderland if I can find a doggy amusement park to go in it). Yes, he's a spoiled momma's boy. LOL So he has plenty of room to romp and play while we are away. Also, I image our grumpy cat sitting on the outside of it saying "nanny nanny poo poo you can't chase me."
He has a kitty sister, but she's grumpy and set in her ways. Tolerates him at best. That's why he loves his "kitty aunt" at my parents house, she loves to play. But my dad love that cat more than me and I'm his pride and joy, so a trade is not possible. lmao
