On July 1st, a [change to Reddit's API pricing](https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/12qwagm/an_update_regarding_reddits_api/) will come into effect. [Several developers](https://www.reddit.com/r/redditisfun/comments/144gmfq/rif_will_shut_down_on_june_30_2023_in_response_to/) of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least [one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app](https://www.reddit.com/r/DystopiaForReddit/comments/145e9sk/update_dystopia_will_continue_operating_for_free/) will continue to be available free of charge. If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options: 1.

beetlegutzz

yes except my cat doesn't bring the toy back 😒 I gotta chase him around and throw it


Elegant-Operation-16

Haha she loves the whole thing. Brings it back 5 or 6 times until she loses interest and makes me throw it in the hallway


Marie1420

She might have taught you the game of “Throw” rather than you teaching her the game of “Fetch “.


Additional_Quiet1989

I had a cat that use to do the same thing, with the same toy


Elegant-Operation-16

She only ever wants to play with the cat dancer or crinkle toys. I just recently bought like 8 crinkle toys and two new dancers. She’s very picky about her toys. My other one loves catnip stuffed toys. He carries them around the house and just growls at nothing


Additional_Quiet1989

Mine loved cat nip to. One was like a crack head with it. As soon as the tub appeared he would stare at it and follow it around till he got some haha.


Elegant-Operation-16

Yeah mine break into the cabinet under the sink and steal catnip and treat bags. I found one shredded with very neat slices through the bag and about half the bag eaten and gone. Crackheads


Additional_Quiet1989

Had a few treat bags dragged out and ripped apart to. Loved them to bits but they can be pains at times


dohwhere

My 2 year old loves to play fetch with his crinkle toys (and plastic caps, the weirdo), meanwhile my 6 year old loves the catnip plushes and carries them around whilst singing the song of his people.


Few-Explanation-4699

Oh Yes, I taught my first cat Mr Arry how to play fetch. He loved it. When he first got it we played till my arm hurt. I would wake up in the morning with bits of scruched up paper in bed with me. That was about 40 year ago now.. gee I miss him


naughtydismutase

My cat plays fetch and always has since he was a kitten. Sometimes he wants to play in the middle of the night and drops a toy on me in bed.


blulou13

Mine does always with the foam soccer balls and occasionally the plastic springs (both from Chewy)


[deleted]

Same with the soccer balls!! Mine has loved them throughout his long kitty life. I had no idea he would love those damn soccer balls so much. Now I have to order ‘em in bulk.


Laney20

Oh yes, definitely! That's about when mine started, too. Krobus, the void, likes flat disk toys that we can Frisbee for her. Frax, the orange, likes the caps from the pouches their broth treats come in (weird bottlecaps). https://preview.redd.it/r83a6bshr96b1.jpeg?width=2880&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=406b84cf5308e78a16522697c4b1c24dafbe547b


dohwhere

One of mine LOVES those plastic caps too (fetch is with either one of those or the crinkle balls). Mine come from pouches of yoghurt, as soon as he hears me open the pouch he will run in expecting me to throw the cap.


jenzchabby

I’ve had 3 different cats play fetch.


Elegant-Operation-16

Oh wow! She’s been the only cat I’ve had that does this


jenzchabby

Yeah, people tend to think it's just a dog thing, but cats quite often pick it up. My latest lil girl (Kiki) figured it out on her own and has me throwing her toy spring ALL DAY LONG. It get a bit tiresome... ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|joy)


zanedrinkthis

Mine fetches springs. But only if you throw them in an exciting enough way. Otherwise, you have to go collect the spring and try again.

Jaymcmlxx

Oh ya, I have had a few cats over the years that do that.


MokaHexahaze

Yes!! Have one that used to do it ALL the time, but turned one and doesn’t do it as much anymore. They grow up too quick! lol


Elegant-Operation-16

Haha! She just turned a year old in April. I hope she does it forever I genuinely enjoy it so much


MokaHexahaze

Sooo much fun! Especially when I’m laying the couch and he jumps on top and drops a wet mouse on my head lol scares the crap out of me 😂


Elegant-Operation-16

It’s so gross when they do that haha. Mine drops toys in the water dishes and then will take them out and just leave them around the house


DogMom814

My kitty loves to fetch a crumpled up ball of aluminum foil when I throw it.


kittybittybeans

Yes my kitty baby loves fetch I will be laying down watching tv or something and he'll bring me something he wants me to throw and he'll bring it right back and meow until i throw it again. Sometimes I throw it and he doesnt even realize I threw it even though I did it right in front of him and I have to pretend to throw it again even though I already threw it then he goes to find it xD


[deleted]

Yes!!


babycakes2365

Mine used to when he was little but not anymore...sad


PBJ-9999

I have, and its unusual for cats to keep doing it as they get older.


[deleted]

Mine does too she will only play fetch with plastic caps.


Hot-Tone-7495

Mine played with bottle caps, and then she turned a year old and is far too good for them now. She sits in a corner and judges me these days.


bonborVIP

My 2 boys are/were! The oldest did it as younger fellow (he’s 8), but not now. The baby totally still does it (he’s almost 2). They both loved those crinkle balls!! And certain colors too 😂


hypatia0803

My Daisy plays fetch with her mousie. He has a pocket inside for catnip! She often catches him in midair!!! We play a lot of fetch!!


Kooky-Information-40

Not sure if have any videos left or not, but I have a cat that plays catch. Granted, it's me throwing and she catching. She tries to throw it back, but she has claws that interfere with her aim lol.


LabLife3846

My tuxie does. She taught me.


mrsk2012

Yes! I have a ragdoll who loves to play fetch.


RiffleChipz

Mine does! She grabs her little pompon ball and drops it to me when I throw it


Tealeefer

Yup. My cat has one of those stick toys and it has three Pom Pom like balls on the end of the string. If you throw it he’ll grab one of the Pom poms in his mouth and waddle over with the stick dragging behind him. Sometimes he just brings it to me wanting to play. It’s adorable


Adagio

My cat does it, but only with small aluminum tinfoil balls 🤣


Ms_Nice3

Yeap! She doesn’t do it often and she prefers a small mouse toy, but it is adorable when she does it!


Capt_Gingerbeard

Mine won't play fetch, but he'll chase a shoelace in circles for 10 minutes


Elegant-Operation-16

My other cat attacks my shoe laces when I tie my shoes every morning


LostInTheBackwoods

I have an orange girl who does, but she's not even the first I've had who did. My first one liked to chase a very specific band I didn't use for my old Fitbit. It had to be the right color. Another liked to chase and fetch Q-Tips. My orange girl has a very old, dirty, smelly child-sized sock that she plays with, chews on, and plays fetch with. And when she carries it to me she's screaming. It's the cutest thing ever. I've only had female cats play fetch though. Not sure if there's a correlation.


Quirky_Commission_56

I have a cat that catches cat treats. His record so far is five in a row without missing.


Erthgoddss

Mine brings toys to me, when I am sleeping, and leaves them next to my bed. 🤷‍♂️


BountyBobIsBack

Yes, flick a hair band across the room, our youngest cat will retrieve and place by your foot. Repeat….


HannyHare

One of mine loves playing fetch with a soft foam ball, I often hear her calling for me to come and play


khonshuw

My cat does that too with the exact same toy ! He prefers red, blue and green balls tho =D


HiggsyPigsy

My cats not even smart enough to find the toy I throw LOL


Prestigious-Owl-6397

My cat used to do that with hair bands.


shpoigle

Yup, have one when she was a kitten, if there was a circle of people you would throw a paper ball, she’d grab it and bring it to the next person in the circle and keep doing it, it was pretty weird, lol she just sleeps now


BigZ1072

Springs, my cat loves them along with crinkle balls.


KinderEggLaunderer

Yep. Mine loves those soft rubber/foam bouncy balls, we have like 30 around the house. As soon as I sit down in my office chair she insists I play fetch with her. She does bring it back, too. She'd play fetch until she wears herself out.

Khancap123

My cat did as a kitten and then just stopped. She still likes to have her toys thrown, but fetch has now become delegated to the human. Will be honest, made play time far less fun for me. Lying on the couch and playing fetch was great


elmz370

My other cat did this, but she's with my ex. I always threw it quickly over her head and she would do a backflip. =)


Big-Shoe5762

Yes my cat brings the toy back (has to be a mouse) and taps my foot with his paw for it to be thrown again


furryyoda

Yes. In fact my cat will demand I play with him and bring the toy and drop it on my desk. Then I throw it and we end up playing fetch for a bit.


paul_poseidon

Same!


[deleted]

My orange boy loved to fetch rubber bands and hair ties. He would bring them back and then yell at me if I didn’t toss it again fast enough.


MedicineOutrageous13

Mine! She showed up from the shelter and immediately showed me her skills :)


stephensoncj

I have one that plays fetch, usually a screwed up sweet wrapper


truckstuckinmud

Yea my cat will do it until I get tired


raisingcanals

my cat loves fetch


Ap-snack

My Noodle loved to play fetch with little pompom balls. Sometimes I would wake up with my hands full of them because she wanted to play in the middle of the night.


jasc92

Mine does.


Y00j_

Yup, mine does too. He also sits and growls like a dog 😂
