If you give a cat …

a plastic egg, she’ll ask you for a curtain. If you roll the egg under the curtain, she will attack and grapple it. After mock murdering it, she will play in the curtain.

Playing in the curtain will remind her of her favorite toy. She’ll ask you for the feather on a stick.

Playing with the feather on a stick will give her the rip-tears. She will zip up and down the hall, then hide behind the door. Chances are, when her paws are under the door, she’ll ask you for a plastic egg.
