   I’m hoping that the question mark in the answer makes this a joke. Without it, I’d be worried for Honeyed Cat.

   That looks like a pretty good toy. We have an old Snoopy fishing pole with a mouse attached, which is much beloved.

   No worries, Honeyed Cat is napping on the table, safe from giant yellow snakes. Her favorite toy is a piece of leather string with a knot on the end. She also loves any kind of wadded up piece of foil, which she will play soccer with. I’m actually impressed with her dribbling tricks. She has this one where she skips over the foil with her front legs and then kicks it with one of her hind paws. Gravesen could learn a thing or two from her, I’m sure:

   Sherman’s favorite is fetching. He will bring a toy back to approximately where it came from, sometimes quickly, sometimes in a leisurely manner. This behavior was learned after much work on my part and many bottles of Bench and Field omega-3 fish treats. As Temple Grandin says, cats will not learn behaviors based on affection, they require a food reward.

   This is decidedly not how Sherman interacts with our Roomba:
