I have a cat that plays fetch. His favorite toy is a craft-store pipe cleaner that we call Pipey. He can hear the metallic ones being picked up from the other room - they seem to emit ultrasonic noise when touched.

Cat, “Bark. Bark.”

We had s cat that would play catch (she refused to do the return part) from the time she was a kitten. She’d leap several feet into the air to grab a catnip mouse tossed over her head. We didn’t realize this was a problem until she was out in the garden one day and took down a goldfinch that flew past a bit too low. Not one of our better ideas.

The music on the video should have been Norma Tanega, though

Certain cat breeds (such as the Russian Blue) will naturally play fetch with their owners. It isn’t wholly unusual.

Raised by wolves retrievers?

I’ve had two quite fetching, fetching cats. Both pretty much taught themselves in less than 10 mins.

This leads to waking up surrounded by rodent corpses.

cat whose penchant for fetch doesn’t come naturally like it does for most dogs
The owner is being trained by the cat to throw toys … I’ve had several cats that would enthusiastically chase toys, bat them around and bring it back again.

That’s better than live rodents. I had a cat that would bring toys to me while I was in bed … she brought and dropped something, I reached for it and it RAN AWAY!
She was angry, found the mouse and stomped off to the couch, where she disassembled it.

Not too unusual for cats. We had one years ago that fetched, and my daughter recently adopted a super soft, super sweet tuxedo cat that loves to fetch her little mouse toys.

Same here! By now, I must have a whole store’s worth that have been lost under my heavy kitchen appliances…

Both our current cats fetch. They bring me elastic hair ties and those silicone wristbands that kids wear with phrases printed on them and meow for me to play. I shoot them to the second floor and they tear off to hunt them.
