Cats sure do love playing games around corners, through holes and other hidden places. Dogs are much more physical, whereas cats seem to have a much greater active imagination leading almost to a fantasy life.
I always enjoyed playing with a cat's toes---- you can stick your finger into a pocket in the middle of their paw and kinda play with their toes. They love that.
He's lucky he picked a pole with no power lines, just TV cable feeds. This past March, a big squirrel must have been running on the power cables, got to the pole on my property and crossed himself across the exposed hot and ground trying to go around the pole.
