Chocolate has made a lot of progress in the two months she’s been here, especially in learning about playing. I don’t think she’d really played much before in her life.
We have found that play is a good road to more trust and more human/cat interaction, so we have worked with her to make it as enticing as possible.
Her favorite game is playing with a toy under the square of fleece we have for that. She will pounce on it, or burrow under the fleece to get it.
She is getting to enjoy chasing toys that we pull along the ground, or feather toys that fly through the air. She is slowly learning that they’re not dangerous, and can be fun.
One interesting thing is that she learns from Magic. Magic is the queen of playtime, and has never met a toy she didn’t like. Chocolate watches her and learns new ways to play. She had the instinct for pouncing on something moving under the fleece, but she learned to zoom across the room from Magic.
