Slash goes Fishing

I want to show you a new 'fishing' game that I really enjoy.

Here's how I play it.

I start the game by giving my fish a really good thwap...

Making it swing back and forth really madly.

And that's when I try to catch it.

I usually start by swiping at the fish.

As soon as I've caught it with my paws...

I will bring the fish to my mouth...

And bite it!

I will then drag the fish up on to the cat tree.

And give it a few more celebratory bites.

I never want to let the fish go.

But Mommy says that if I do not release it...

I cannot start a new game.

So I will reluctantly drop the fish from my mouth...

And start a new game right away!

Sometimes the fish swings around so wildly...

That it takes me longer to catch it.

I will try to hook it with my right paw first...

And then my left.

When both paws fail, I will use my teeth.

I will snap fiercely at the fish.

But I don't think it is scared of sharp teeth.

When the fish keeps escaping me no matter what I do...

It can get very frustrating!

But I keep trying.

And what do you know?

Success!!!

Oh sweet success!

You are mine, Fishy Fish!

With a firm grip on the fish...

I try to pull it up carefully.

Because if I am not careful, it will drop from my mouth and escape again.

Once it is safely up on the cat tree...

I will chomp and chomp on the fish.

I will gnaw and chew and crunch and munch...

Until I am all tired out.

So that's my 'fishing' game.
I hope you've enjoyed watching me play it!

Playing Catch And Release makes the fun last longer (although I am also a fan of Finders Keepers).
