Some cats will play fetch for a sustained amount of time. My late Tortie, Jasmine used to fetch paper wads for up to 10 minutes at a stretch. She’d also play “tag” in the house, her favorite activity.

Indeed; as a kitten our tabby, Potato, would fetch those fuzzy pipe cleaners…

Still, it’s great to see a dog get along so well with the kittens.

Thanks; my kid opted not to change it from what the animal shelter had called her.
She really did look like a furry potato as a 7-week old kitten.
I grok the ‘Is Potato’ joke, and I admit I have thought about writing to Colbert about her more than once; we’ve had her since 2018, so the cat’s name predates the gag.

It seems the cat is less playing fetch as it is the dog taking the ball away and throwing it back.
Because I have a darker sense of humor and forgot BB is perfect.

Ghoulish even, one might say.
It may not be anywhere near perfect, but it does have standards:

Our new kitten has fixated on a crinkly catnip fish, and will self-play a while, then bring it to us to toss. She’ll then retrieve for several minutes of tossing.
We call “Go Fish!” a bunch during each session, trying to train her to find and fetch it on command.
What the fish sees…
