Bathtub soccor
Both of my two cats love to play with a light little plastic "wiffle" ball with a bell inside. Cassie, my black and white cat, chases it, kicks and pounces on it. Charlie, my totally black cat, will bring it to me to play fetch.
One day they were both in my bathtub and I tossed the ball into the tub. After competing for the ball for a while, they seemed to learn that they could bat it back and forth between them. It was so cute. I call it "bathtub soccor".
They have played bathtub soccor several times but they don't have "scheduled games". It's not like they can look at each other and say, "Hey, let's go play a pickup game of soccor in the tub." But if they happen to be playing in the tub, I will toss in the ball and they will play bathtub soccor.

Hi George.... I really like this idea because cats love to play and I sense that a lot of us don't play enough with our cats due to pressure of time etc.
I wonder if we could start up a "Cat Soccor League". Competitions would follow and who knows where that would lead too!
Thanks for sharing again.{Note: I changed the title in the hope that the page will be found more easily by Google and get seen more - hope you don't mind.}
