I took some time out of a hectic day recently to play with my cats. I’d found a little plastic jingly ball we bought them ages ago and tossed it about for them, giggling as they rolled around the living room floor trying playfully to conquer it.
I got the sense that they were thoroughly enjoying themselves, as much as I was enjoying watching them play. It really brightened my day.
Which is why I was so delighted by a Youtube video we Love Dem Cats editors came upon recently. Big Cat Rescue, a sanctuary for abused, abandoned and retired exotic cats in Florida (it has the most diverse population of wild cats in captivity in the world!), has a very special treat for its feline inhabitants every Halloween.
What happens when you mix big cats and pumpkins? You get this inspiring video!
I guess big cats and little cats aren’t all that different, especially when it comes to playtime!
Happy Meow-loween!
