Cat Tricks?

Myrtle loves to play fetch , she will run after the paper ball and bring it back and drop it in my hand.
Marmalade just hangs around for the treats as she's not going to lower her standards to fetching a paper ball.

Marmalade plays the game of waking me up at 4 in the morning for cuddles

Chester amuses himself by carrying a catnip mouse up the stairs and then dropping it on the, err, sloping bit between the rising stairs and the wall, which forms a lovely angled slide. The mouse slides down and Chester hurtles down, round the angle and the stairs to try to intercept it before it hits the tiles in the hall.
All very clever seeing as he invented it himself and he is a cat of very little brain, or maybe his mother dropped him on his head

some of the ideas include use of clicker and/or training wand but the rest is just simple bribery!
