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.

ReplyDeleteStairball 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!!!!!

ReplyDeleteAre the rules any different when there is a circular staircase - like ours?
ReplyDeleteYou're really good at that game, Maxwell.
ReplyDeleteDoes the 3-steps rool apply to non-carpeted stairs? Wood is slippery!
ReplyDeleteWe gots those wooded stairs as well. Usually we just carry our toys up and down stairs. Your technique is excellent. We will give it a try! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
