Have you played… with a cat?Playing with a cat = nourishment for the soul
Playing with a cat = nourishment for the soul
If ever there were a reason to test the boundaries of what it means to be a “game retrospective”, it must surely be that I get to put my cat’s adorable mug on the front page of RPS.
This is Kira. Her markings make it look like she’s wearing an Incredibles mask.
Of course, as a proud cat-dad of two, I can’t display any favouritism. So here’s a photo of the equally adorable Harvey, Kira’s brother:
Alright, now that we’ve all satisfied our deep craving for cat photos, I have to actually try to justify this “playing with cats is worthy of a game retrospective” stance I’ve backed myself into. Hmm.
The best thing about playing with a cat is that it’s such a flexible activity. You can use literally anything to play with a cat. A coat hanger, a water bottle, a phone. If you’re feeling particularly daring, the drawstrings of your trousers will send a cat mad - albeit potentially at the cost of you pissing like a fountain for the next few days.
Playing with cats is awesome. If you’re a cat owner and you’re reading this, you have my permission to stop what you’re doing and go play with a cat.
