Back in the 90s we had a cat that liked to play fetch. Every now and then it would come to you with a bobble (a hairy ball) and you were supposed to throw it and it would bring it back (it would even drop it to your open hand).

She also liked to eat cheese puffs.

My cats also play fetch: I throw the ball, they run over to where it landed, and then they sit still while they wait for me to walk over and throw the ball again :)
haha mine too.
She wasn't playing fetch - you were playing throw!
Every one of my cats liked to play that way. It was like a video game form of play hunting to them. I miss all of those furry assholes.
Yes, many of mine too.

Sometimes mixed in with their usual exercise I'll throw the toy (a piece of a padded envelope wrapped around a plastic straw) into some unexpected places and they seem to like the challenge of finding it. My one current cat that fetches will search for something for a few minutes even and carries it back every time.
