Cricket used to play fetch with his "toy". It was
some feathers attached to the end of a plastic stick.
He would bring it to me and I would throw it and he
would bring it back. If I tried to use it like a
tickler, like normal kitties like, he wasn't
interested in it. Only fetching and also jumping high
to catch it. He also used to play hide-and-seek with
me. I would hide and he would find me and then I
would run, laughing across the house, and he would
chase after me. He was so cute. I miss him so much.
