Yes…cats can do agility, too!!  Don’t underestimate the concentration of a cat who is chasing a toy through an agility course!  They can be FAST!  I saw cats running the course at the Sign of the Cat Fanciers and Oriental Shorthairs show in Easton, Pa. over the weekend.  The agility course is inside a mesh enclosure to keep any wayward felines from escaping.  I was told that the record time to run the course was 7 seconds.  The kitten pictured above was just getting her paws wet with agility – it was her first time.  The owner played with her for a long while at first just to get her used to chasing toys.  Then they moved on to the course which includes hoops, jumps, a tunnel, stairs, and even weave poles!  The owner led the kitten through the course by encouraging her to follow various wand-type toys with feathers, or streamers, or furry mice on the end.  It worked like a charm, though I think the end time might have been more like 7 minutes instead of 7 seconds!
