Cat Toy

We are figuring out that cats don't quite play the same way dogs do. Toquinho has some rolled up foil balls he knocks around, but usually plays by himself. We went to the great Mart of Kirksville (Wal-Mart) and bought a jingley-ball-on-a-fishing-pole toy to see if he liked it.
So far he won't leave it alone, but it also gives us a way to play with the cat, even if he is just stalking and hunting a jingle ball.
Toquinho is getting better at tolerating the dogs. He doesn't swat them in the face whenever he sees them anymore, and will actually walk past Lucy without incident! Baby steps... I think Lucy is more curious than Toquinho. She follows him everywhere, then just lays down and stares at him. Not in the hunting/stalking stare, but more of a blank look stare (Like Michelle's Dog Gabby).
Here is a short video of Toquinho hunting his toy:

I normally just swing the toy along the ground and Toquinho will chase it all around me, but that game isn't very "camera friendly"...:)
