My cats are really funny. Callie has this game she plays when it's time for her medicine (three times a day, close to the same time every day) She'll walk in the room and stare at me or do something to get my attention. Then she'll wait until I get up to go get her, then the games begin. She goes behind the couch, runs out the other side, runs through the hall, waits to be sure I'm following, then runs down the basement where we circle the couch again. If I don't catch her down there, she runs up the stairs and then up to the room I'm working on way upstairs where she lets me catch her. Whew!
Sometimes we go under the dining room table (well she does and stays just out of my reach) If I don't play along, she waits for me to go looking for her and then starts again. Sometimes she can be bribed with treats. If it's been too long, she'll wait and let me pick her up
