I love playing this with my cat. Works especially well when you audibly drag your feet and when you move around corners or behind objects a lot. I learned this by watching my cat play with her son. However she only lets me play the prey role and gets aggressive when I do the same to her. Her son also used to let me hunt him a bit, but he disappeared one day :/
I like to dramatically die when my cat gets me around a corner, i think it makes him feel accomplished
It absolutely does, wild cats both large and small help their young by training them this way, it's the cutest way to raise your murder mittens
