 We got Lady Jane a variety of cat toys, which she ignores.  We 
 often hear her playing in the kitchen - she flicks a piece of dry
 cat food out of the bowl onto the floor and chases it around.  If
 we go in to watch, she stops playing.

 I don't know how it got started, but for a while Lady Jane was 
 waking us up at 3 AM, wanting to have cat food put into her
 bowl.  There is always cat food in her bowl.  For a while, in
 order to get some sleep, I would get up and put some cat food
 in her bowl.  If there was plenty, I would reach down and 
 push it around a bit.  Even this seemed to satisfy her.
 We finally got her to stop this game.  I think it involved ignoring
 her at 3 AM, or if she got close, giving her a pet or two, but not
 getting up.
 Meow.

... What do you get if you remove half a cat's brain? A smart dog!
