I would like to know how much time you spend a day throwing toys and playing with your Bengal. Is it something you do everyday? I try to give her some play when my son goes to sleep because then he wants to play and sometimes acts rough and I don't want her to learn any type of aggression. I just wondered if I give her enough play. She is an inside cat.

When I'm home, he gets play throughout the day. When I work, he gets some playtime in the evenings -- usually 20 to 30 minutes. He would love more .... but I have a limited window to get things done.

There's 20-30min most days of Da'bird (now Neko Fly) play time featuring mostly Serafina and Neytiri, with the goal of mainly getting Serafina tired out. Then there is a period of time that may stretch an hour or so where Gaga will bring me balls to throw for her to fetch every 5 min or so. Then often another period of 10-15min most days where all three cats play with the squiggler (wool toy) with me on the bed before bedtime.

Dexter has a couple of mad half hours in the morning and my elderly Burmese is quite up for a chase and play then so I don't need to do anything.

They both then sleep and sleep and sleep!

It's usually in the late evening that Dexter comes alive again and wants to play. By this time as far as my Burmese is concerned it's bedtime and he doesn't want to know so I play with him.

He loves those little shiny plastic sweet wrappers from small chocolates and we will spend ages playing fetch with them. Quite often I stay up past my own bedtime to play with him!

I don't really play when he doesn't want to as I don't want to make him even more hyper than he already is!
