Herding cats isn't all that hard, after all

We have four cats, and while any two of them may be friends at a given moment, alliances are fluid, so we almost never have all four together for more than a moment or three.

Except when we play badminton; we’re on a small farm (sort of) and have a round pen set up for the horses (essentially a 20m circle of large metal fence panels) that turned out to be a great location for our net. We try to get out and play twice a day, and when we do, the cats eventually congregate around the perimiter to watch the silly humans jump around. (I guess much the way we sit and watch them defend their positions on the cat tower in the living room.)

So that’s all it takes: just spend half an hour running and jumping around like idiots, and they will all come sit quietly to watch the silliness.
