Zuul plays fetch. It started with the toy in #36248, and it was fun to watch her gradually grasp the rules of the game over time. It took her a couple of weeks to realize it didn't need to be that toy in particular, and then it took her several months to realize that she needed to bring the toy to *me* and not to my desk if I wasn't at the computer. Before then, she'd drop a toy at my desk and then come to me in another room with this expression that seemed to say, "Why you no play?"

She's best at it if she starts by bringing me something, but these she will actually bring back about 80% of the time even if I start the game.

Of course, she's a cat, so sometimes she'll bat it around the house for 5-10 minutes before bringing it back to me.

Cats believe that all small bottle caps are theirs.

Maybe I accidently filled something in, but I used simple logic.

I did the top 8 and voila!

I love the idea of Zuul bringing the toy to your desk instead of to where you are, and then gradually figuring out that she needed to bring it to you.

#8 It might be a sign that I spend too much time at the computer, given how long it took her to figure out the difference.
