Game “Hunting the Ghost”

Image Game “Hunting the Ghost”

What You Need:

  • Laser pointer / flashlight

  • A sheet or large piece of fabric

  • Your cat’s favorite toy (mouse, ball, etc.)

  • A treat (if your cat likes rewards)

How to Play:

  1. Warm-Up

    • Attract your cat’s attention with the laser pointer or toy.

    • Let it chase the light or ball for a bit to get excited.

  2. The Ghost Appears

    • Put on the sheet or hold it up.

    • Move slowly, slightly shaking the fabric to create a “ghostly” effect.

    • Occasionally peek out with your hand or toy to intrigue the cat.

  3. The Hunt Begins!

    • Hide the toy under the sheet and move it around as if it’s alive.

    • Let the cat attack the ghost, paw at the fabric, or jump on it.

    • If the cat loses interest, shake the fabric suddenly or make light sounds (like “pssh” or “whooo”).

  4. Final Victory – The Hunter Wins

    • When the cat catches the toy or grabs the fabric, praise it and give a small treat.

    • Repeat the game a few times until the cat gets tired.

Tips:

  • Don’t scare the cat too much – the game should be fun, not stressful.

  • If your cat likes climbing, try playing on the sofa or bed.

  • Change the “ghost” appearance spots to keep the game unpredictable.

This game helps develop your cat’s hunting instincts and keeps it active!
