Rules of the Game

Maxwell: I love a good game.


But there are rules, you know.


For instance, you need to let the ball get at least 3 steps away before you can begin the chase.


And then you dash after it! But you must catch it before it hits the bottom of the stairs.


One important rule: be sure you carefully inspect all your catnip balls prior to play, to ensure there's enough nip for the game.
(Wouldn't want a Deflate-Gate on our paws...)


Yeahhhhh. Score one for the Maxter.  #WINNING.

  10. Stairball used to be one of my fave things....and YES, beating it to the bottom of the stair as it hops down is THE BEST. These days I just watch it roll down and AFTER I take a nap I'll go get it and bring it back to the top. For the next time I'm in the mood......WELL DONE MAXWELL!!!!!

    Hugs, Sammy

  17. Does the 3-steps rool apply to non-carpeted stairs? Wood is slippery!
