- She doesn't play fetch. You play throw. The acid test of fetch v. throw is:
-
- Wait until she is doing something else, washing, eating staring into space...
-
- Get the ball.
-
- Throw the ball and say go get it! Fetch! If you can do this on three
- different occasions, its fetch and the cat is trained. If not its "throw"
- and you are trained.

- I play "throw" very well, just ask Spring.
