When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?
-- Montaigne
Cats are social animals and can enjoy play with their humans. Many cats love to chase rolling objects and often will retrieve them. They love to chase the beam from a flashlight or a laser pointer. Not only can playtime be enjoyable for both pet and owner, but it is also helpful in maintaining a healthy weight for your cat.
