    Whose a good little guy? Whose a good little guy? You did such a good job! I’m so proud of you! Yes! You’re an apex predator! You get so many chin scratches!

      My cat is a fetch cat. He loves to fetch.

      Every time he does a pounce on one of his toys and rabbit kicks it, or stalks it across the living room, I praise him for all his murder skills. I also will tell him that’s why he’s not allowed outside, he’s simply too fierce and terrifying and all the animals would die.

      He seems to enjoy the praise because if I don’t say anything he’ll keep playing, but when I praise him he runs back to me with his toy and a jaunty little prance for scratches.
