Watch as this adorable ginger cat named Thumbkin tries with all it's might to get a ball out of a disc-shaped cat-toy given to him by his owner. <br /><br />However, what Thumbkin doesn't know is that the metal jingle-ball is unretrievable. That doesn't stop the persistent prowler from being dead-set on getting it's paws on that ball!<br /><br />The frustrated feline digs it's cute little paws into the toy but the ball seems to evade capture every time. Thumbkin's head moves back and forth with lightning-quick speed trying to follow the pesky ball. <br /><br />Poor Thumbkin even tries various tactics such as laying down and then pouncing on the toy. He tries looking away quickly and then looking back to get a jump on the ball but it's just too quick for this housebound hunter. <br /><br />The footage shows Thumbkin in a living room with a hard wood floor. As he bats the toy about the room it slides with ease making Thumbkin jump into a chase. <br /><br />At one point the footage shows the four-legged stalker push the toy out of the room on to a carpeted area where his owner has to intervene. <br /><br />This doesn't stop Thumbkin from continuing the chase; a chase which is inevitably doomed.
