You might think that dogs have an edge when it comes to playing fetch. But it turns out that lots of cats like it too. Just on their own terms.
Researchers in Great Britain surveyed nearly 1,000 parents of over 1,100 cats to see if their feline friends retrieved thrown objects. Nearly 95% of them did — and without any specific training — usually starting when they were less than a year old.
As opposed to dogs, cats usually decide when they want to play fetch. They also play fetch on their own, mimicking interactions with prey, while dogs prefer the social aspect, engaging with people or other dogs.
Whether or not your cat likes to fetch, playing together does wonders in strengthening your relationship.
