Things You'll Need
- Stick, 1-foot
- Fishing line, 1-foot
- Feather
Instructions
Tie a 1-foot length of fishing line to the end of a 1-foot stick. Tie the quill of a feather to the end of the fishing line.
Hold the stick down toward the floor and move your wrist to make the feather dance on the floor and attract the kitten.
Keep holding the end of the stick as you move your arm away from your body. This will move the feather back and forth to entice the kitten to run to and fro as it tries to catch the feather between its paws.
Move the object more slowly until the kitten catches it in its paws. Put the toy away and begin petting the kitten slowly, from its shoulders to its tail.
Count to two, slowly, as you firmly pet the kitten from shoulders to tail to deliver a calming touch. Start at its head and work to the tip of its tail once it starts to relax. Continue until the kitten begins to fall asleep.
