Aboli didn't immediately swat him away, but she chuckled. "My hair is NOT a toy, Sparty," she said as she set down another treat for him to play with before he nommed on. "Delicious right? Let's try to veer...THIS WAY--" she stood, and took a step towards the little obstacle course, placing a treat further away.

At first, Sparticus didn't move. He let his tail flick about, eyeing the treat.............did he really HAVE to move to get it? This was annoying. But FINE. He streeeeeetched and leisurely made his way over to the treat, plopped down again, and ate the treat. Yum. Now what????

Aboli sighed. "Maybe the obstacle course isn't in your fortune, Sparty. Come on - " and she picked him up, ignoring his little wriggles to be FREEEEE and set him down on the first obstacle. Yikes. He hopped right off and plopped down next to her feet. She put the treat ON the first thing he had to complete - the things he had to crawl through - the skinny poles sticking up the ground. "You gotta MOVE through these!" she said as she showed him. But all Sparticus did was eat the second treat and LAY in the middle.
