Cat games

I got my cat to play a game with me today. Or maybe he got me to play a game with him. I wish I could attach the 20 second video I took. I was sitting at the kitchen table with my earbuds in. He was sitting on the table about a foot from me. Just to see what kind of mood he was in I took earbuds out and laid them on the table close to him. He swatted one at me. I swatted it back to him not expecting him to do anything, but he swatted it back to me. We went back and forth a few times  before he switched paws. This time, because of the new angle of his swat, the earbud didn't slide toward me. What surprised me was he fetched it back and then swatted it toward me. He did it twice. So I know it wasn't random.
