three ball circus

For all the griping I do about our cat, I have to give credit where it is due: Matilda is one smart feline. She knows which owner will let her rub her dander all over the couch and which one will yell at her for drinking out of the Christmas tree stand. She is aggravating, yes, but also highly intelligent, often displaying an admirable amount of, shall we say, chutzpah.

Her newest trick? Playing fetch. She has 3 mini soccer balls, any of which can be lost at a given moment. As of late, she has taken to dribbling her green soccer ball around until it lands at your feet and you pick it up and throw it. This game has so far lasted a maximum of perhaps 10 minutes. But with training and no small amount of patience, I might be able to take this show on the road!
