Within my cat household I have cats that are happy to play without interaction and others than only play if played with. The Snowshoes and Lola (Siamese) will play with a toy without having to have me join in but of course that is preferable. They also play happily with each other. Leroy will only play if played with by myself and the other cats won't play with him (he's too rough). The Devons will play any game if I play with them but do not play with each other. Evie the Devon kitten will play if I play with her or Lola or the Snowshoes play with her but will not play on her own. How do your cats play?

Mine only play on their own. When I join in Tommie will continue playing to please me -I can tell-, but Misty stops immediately and walks away.

Well since Mayhem is the king of playing, the others dont get a look in anymore when it comes to dnagler toys and feather toys! he could be asleep upstairs and hears the others playing he's down like a flash! they will all play together though, a have to have two feather toys on the go at once, one in each hand! Tink really wants to play, but like your Leory she is a bit to rough, so will quite happily play on her own, or stand watching the others from a distance! the kittens, love playing and will chase anything that moves! they love playing lets climb as high as well at the moment, I'm trying to teach Inka, thats its ok to play to without being nervous.

Ziggy loves to play on his own and with us but if any of the others join in he walks away

Neo is a only cat so I try and play with him everyday some days he can't be bothered. I have bought him toys thinking he would love them but he ends up finding the box they came in more fun

Osiris plays with Da Bird or a Yeowww catnip toy (or similar) but not often
Roman, when he does play, is a Da Bird lad. He'll happily knead his Macey (was called that from PAH - Willows I think) or cuddle his Yeowww Apple.
Penny usually plays on her own with paper balls - any rolled up paper she can steal from the wastepaper bin! Although trailing string has done well in the past. She happily kneads her Macey or
Lexie plays with ping pong balls either on her own or with us. Loves Da Bird or feather ticklers with us. Plays hide & jump out or chase with the other cats which they don't like - I think she's the only one who sees it as play! She plays with other toys but gets bored with the exception of the Cheese Chase you which she doesn't just bat round the circuit but charges at it from across the landing into the room!

As with Jenny, as Molly is my only cat and since she was 6 has preferred to stay in, I try to set aside play time every day. Sometimes Molly is keen and others not. As she is an older lady now only to be expected I suppose but she does still surprise me and have a "mad 5minutes rush around" about once a week.

Moonbeam loves to rough play. Barley doesn't mind doing this with him but it stresses Fleur out. Unfortunately Moonbeam doesn't get this. Fleur is our least playful cat although occasionally she will play. They love playing with me with fishing rod toys they love them. Barley loves playing with his plush balls and Moonbeam likes his crinkly balls although that reminds me I haven't seen any for a while I must look some out he must have lost them under furniture that's the problem with cat toys!

Lilly likes to play fetch & would have you doing it all day (& night) Weem doesn't really seem all that fussed about toys, much prefering to play chase with Lilly, but his favourite thing is cuddles
