Nice! Our squirrels are MUCH faster than my cat.
And probably smarter.
A friend had a cat (Tony, not Toby) that really WAS a Mighty Hunter, even as a kitten, when we called him Teeny Tiny Tony. we rolled a ball for him to catch, but that wasn't interesting enough. He looked around, then hid behind the corner of a doorway. Then we had to roll the ball past that doorway, so he could leap out from hiding, and pounce upon the ball by surprise.
He grew up really big, so we had to call him Ten Ton Tony.
With my cat, if you dangle a string for him to chase, you have to dangle it NEAR him or it's too much work. And he'll only chase it for 15-20 seconds. Then he flops down on his side and will only chase it as far as he can reach by rolling over once. Any farther than that is too much work.
But if I catch him sitting on the seat of a chair, he will play the lay-down-and-chase-the-string game from the seat of the chair. He never seems to learn that I'm going to make him roll over enough to fall off the chair!
Or maybe he's just indulging me, and tells stories to his cat friends about how he trained me to entertain him by pretending to fall off chairs.
