Fetch!

We got a scratching post for Ramses the other day, and it originally had a ball on a springy string attached to it. She took care of that pretty quickly. But rather than be angry I discovered something: if I threw the ball she brought it back to me. Eventually, but most of the time pretty quickly.
I'm so entertained by this. At night before bed she'll do it for a good fifteen minutes before she gets tired. And even if I throw it and go to a different room, she'll be there, with the ball in her mouth. This morning I wasn't paying attention, so she jumped into my lap, dropped the ball, and pawed me with a little meow.
My dogs don't even get this. She's just so smart. And so silly.
