Simple Pleasure of the Day: Kitty hide-and-seek

What Mandy Thinks: "Simple Pleasure of the Day" post
Before getting a cat, I would be able to make my bed without any interruptions in the process.  Now I have a kitty that decided blankets are always places to hide, especially when they're being placed one by one onto a big squishy rectangle.  When each blanket is stripped off, that's Jimmy's cue to jump up and wait for the blankets to be tossed on him one by one when I ask "Where's Jimmy?!" in a SPOTD kitty hide-and-seek.  He only moves and makes noise when I speak but freezes in place until each blanket is back in its place.  Then he bolts out like he's been lost for DAYS.

Animal playtime such as hide-and-seek can:

"You found me!"
- Distract from the constant kitty nags of food time which he thinks is 20 hours of the 24 hour day.

- Increase fulfillment in our human-pet relationship.  A playful pet is a happy pet.

- AND WILL cause me to love my kitty more and more forevers and evers as any crazy cat lady can attest to.
