Free Cat Game - Parachute Cat
Okay, I'm sure someone else has come up with this game too, but I just got done playing Parachute Cat (yes, I made up the name too;). Do you remember playing with the parachute in gym class growing up? All the kids in gym would grab a side of the parachute and pull it taught. I always loved that game though I forget what happened next. Was it a ball on the parachute that we bounced all around? Or did we just run underneath it? I don't remember.
But a couple years ago, my tabby cat, Torre, fell in love with a similar game with bed sheets. Every time I wash my sheets and am about to put them on, Torre races in and pounces on the sheets. He runs underneath them, tackles corners, or jumps on top triumphantly. It's the cutest thing.
Sure, my arms wear out quicker than he does as I flap the sheet up into the air for another round of Parachute Cat, but for ten minutes we have a grand ol'time. Tiziano even joined the fun today. So now go try out the new game with your kitty and let me know if they enjoy the game too. For extra added fun, you can play my Cat songs while you and your cats enjoy the game.

We used to play a variant of your game with our first cat Scheezics. She loved to jump into the clean sheets as you folded them. We would jiggle her and even gently bounce her up and down. The drawback was it took 2 humans to play. Jan Cz
Both of my tabbies love the sheet game...they mostly like to run under the sheets when I am throwing them in the air to get them centered on the bed..it's good kitty fun! Their favorite is when I get the goosedown comforter out in the winter...the ultimate cat blanket for hours of kitty entertainment. JJ
Tybalt used to love that game but it must have bored him because he just watches me fix the bed.
