With all my cats: I like to do a cat scratch gesture like catwoman from a distance while we all laze around (again, from a distance).
Its like miming scratching a non-existant surface and they intuit that the imaginary surface I’m scratching is them.
Also “we” call scratching “scratcheese” lol
I have one of those too. The cat only wants to play fetch when I want to go to bed, of course.
