This may be the last time we see this lego train in one piece before my cats destroy
it.
I am the Cat Butler and today I am going to see if my cats can catch a lego train
filled with cat treats.
It is finally Christmas and that means presents for the cats!
For their birthday I had created a maze for them.
The cats enjoyed it.
But what do my cats want for Christmas?
I think I have the perfect gift!
First let's meet my two ragdoll cats Teemo and Arya.
They are the sweetest souls and I couldn’t ask for a better companion and I want them
to have the best Christmas ever.
And if you are wondering what this is?
That is their cat tree.
I added some Christmas lights to the cat tree to make it more festive for the holidays.
It can even be controlled with a smartphone.
I think the cats enjoy the light show.
Teemo couldn’t stop staring at the tree.
Teemo you are always up to no good.
Now for the perfect Christmas gift.
I want to recreate the thrill of a hunting experience.
You see it is in a cat’s natural instinct to hunt.
Teemo and Arya love to hunt bees in the garden, scoop toy fish out of the water or pounce
on each other around the house.
My cats even take my straw or kidnap my Lego minifigures.
Arya, where are you going?
The lego train will act as the prey and in its cargo my cat’s favorite treat.
Freeze dried salmon.
My cats go crazy for them.
Now just chasing a lego train is just too easy for my cats.
There will need to be some obstacles.
The first obstacle is a tunnel made of cardboard bricks.
The tunnel diameter should be just large enough for the trains to go through, but small enough
to slow down the cats.
The second obstacle is a mini cardboard castle.
This past summer, my ragdoll cats really liked the cardboard castle I built them.
So I am bringing it back.
It will have a courtyard surrounded by castle walls and two gates for the train to pass
through.
And the last obstacle.
A second lego train to act as a decoy and interference.
It will be behind the main train with the treats.
Making it harder for the cats to steal those treats.
The trains are ready and it is time for my cats to sharpen their hunting skills.

Let the hunt begin!
Right away Teemo was captivated by the moving trains.
The rich flavor of fish was just too tempting.
In the beginning Teemo struggled.
But Teemo didn’t give up.
Arya the train is not going to hurt you.
Arya needed more confidence.
She usually is a good hunter with my other cat toys.
Maybe Teemo’s success will give her that confidence.
After all, cats learn from each other.
Teemo used his muscles to stop the train, it looks like going to the gym has been paying
off.
Teemo was getting closer and closer to filling his belly.
The taste of victory was near!
I started to watch Teemo hone his hunting skills.
Why spend energy chasing a train when you can just ambush it?
Teemo was on the path to becoming a dangerous hunter.
And then Teemo had a light bulb moment.
The lego trains could be knocked off the rails.
Teemo started to apply this new insight to much success.
How many train or prey kills will Teemo have today?
In a 24 hour period wild cats can do over 20 prey kills.
Can you beat that Teemo?
That technique!
This is the Lego Passenger Train.
We have a Catzilla on the loose.
Do you mean Godzilla?
The trains did not stand a chance.
Teemo continued to rack up kills.
It was nice to see Arya not afraid of the train.
It was cool to see Teemo sharpen his hunting skills.
Stalking is a very important aspect of cat hunting behavior.
Cat’s slowly approach prey and keep their body low to the ground.
With an eye fixed on the prey the cat will eventually pounce and make their attempt to
kill.
Wow that slap was hard.
Teemo was getting so good at catching the Lego trains that he was getting the trains
in one attempt.
Very impressive!
I smell trouble.
Teemo wanted to play with Arya.
Arya wanted no part of it.
Teemo was persistent.
Arya tried to get away.
Teemo body slammed Arya.
Arya then had enough.
Teemo threw a tantrum.
It was amazing to watch my cats become the hunters they were meant to be.
We tend to think cats sleep all day and do nothing, but we forget how important cats
were to the development of mankind.
Thousands of years ago cats invited themselves into our homes.
A bargain was struck, the cats hunted the mice that came after our crops, and we provided
a roof over their heads.
In ancient Egypt cats were so revered that they were worshipped and even mummified when
they died.
In fact, the killing of cats was forbidden in Ancient Egypt.
That relationship has changed today, but the bond between man and cat is still going strong.
I didn’t expect the Lego Trains to be such a success.
Teemo was so active and just happy.
He really does need the exercise.
Maybe next time Arya will unleash her hunting prowess.
I will have to come up with more exciting obstacles with the Lego Train.
Well it seems like over 24 hours Teemo had 22 kills.
Not bad for your first rodeo!
Well I think the cats had a great christmas!
