Smiling gray-haired grandma in a blue cardigan with a black cat reaching up on his hind legs in a backyard 11 / 36

Odessa Held the Toy High Over the Grass. Onyx Showed Her His Best Jump.

AI imagedevon rexfetchbackyard

Grandma Odessa is laughing, one arm raised high with a toy just out of reach, and Onyx is stretched tall on his hind legs with his front paws up and his golden eyes fixed on it. She wears a blue cardigan over a cream top, and her short silver hair shines in the light. The backyard behind them is quiet, with a wooden fence, a few potted plants and a garden watering can resting near the grass. Her grin shows she is enjoying the game every bit as much as he is.

Cats that fetch are rarer than dogs that do, but plenty of them love a chase-and-carry game. Devon Rex cats in particular are known for being athletic, curious and eager to play with their people. Short bursts of play, a few times a day, help use up energy and keep indoor cats fit. Pick a toy that is easy to carry and too big to swallow, and avoid rough games with hands or fingers, since cats can learn to bite. Always play in a safe, fenced area outdoors, or stay indoors if you are unsure. Stop when your cat loses interest so the game stays fun, and talk to your vet if he seems unusually tired.

Odessa never seems to run out of patience. As long as there is a toy and a good jump, Onyx is ready.
