I guess you should think of this as a three-mammal game instead of an annoying interruption:

Oreo definitely won.
He could stand to work on his serve, though….

How wonderful. Now that’s what I call inclusion 🙂
It is definitely a three-mammal game. Much like how when humans try to play frisbee, and it becomes a human + canine game. Mammals are better when they play together.
Ping Pong + Cats = The greatest game in the world!
Definitely a three-mammal game. They are very clearly involving the cat intentioally, hitting it to him/her a bunch of times.
Looks like the net was getting punished for holding Oreo away from the ball.
Bad net!
When I was little, my mom told me I couldn’t play ping pong with the cat.
You could have been famous!
My family has had few games of croquet in which the d_gs got involved. They couldn’t carry the balls very far, but they did change the dynamics.
We had a border collie. She could dominate a socker game just by running the ball with her nose.
A d_g frustrated by the statue of Alan Turing holding an apple.
We laugh, of course. That’s not actually a person, that isn’t even a ball, but, even in Laguna Beach, something that looks like a human sitting on a bench is more likely than not to be breathing, and the pose is pretty provocative. The d_g’s response isn’t entirely unreasonable.
Ping pong with a feline goalie is my new favorite sport.
Poah kitteh kernackered at endz!
I’m almost tempted to, somehow, find a lionling or a tiggerlet (not sure if they’re the correct terms), and take it to womble the lost balls at Wimbledon. “Lion stopped play” is probably a rule that the Lawn Tennis Association (or whoever) haven’t had to call on outside Africa before.
I think the lion might find the motion of the players much more interesting to pounce on than that of the ball :-0
If you want tennis balls fetched you need a d-g.
What game? I see an animal honing its killing skills. That kitten’s going to grow up into a fine mouser. If it goes outdoor it’ll probably get birds, squirrels, and all sorts of other things to supplement its diet of tinned food.
