Fall-Themed Video Shows Foster Kittens Playing with Odd Toy

Many humans who share their homes with a feline companion may have noticed that their cat loves to play with odd household items. Recently, one fall-themed video posted to the r/awww subreddit shows just that proclivity. In the video, three foster kittens can be seen happily playing with an unusual fall item as a toy.

The three kittens play with a bunch of leaves that have blown into the house. They pounce and bat at the dried foliage. The video is captioned “Bunch of leaves blew in during Halloween. We let our foster kittens play with them before sweeping up.” 

Playing can help kittens learn important skills. The foster kittens are using the leaves to improve their coordination and practice hunting skills. They also look adorable while doing so! The kittens have received over 42,000 upvotes on the Reddit thread.
