Cat Nap Wednesday (On Thursday)

 I had a bit more wrapping to do yesterday. I went to get the gifts and when I returned I found I had a helper. 

She wasn't much help though. She decided to play with her toys and then fell asleep!

We hope everyone is enjoying this festive and busy time of year. We plan to get back on track with regular postings after the new year. We've both have had colds and now a stomach bug. Darn!

We wish everyone a year filled with peace, joy, and great health.

Cat Nap Wednesdays

 Today I thought we should clean out some of Katie's old toys. 

Yes, just as if she were a child, she started playing with everything as if to say "I still use/want all these toys." 

 She played till nap time!

Cat Nap Wednesday

Whenever I see Katie with this toy (aka: Abby's baby) it makes me think back to when we first brought Katie home. Abby was not happy about it and let us know. After few weeks, Abby realized Katie wasn't going anywhere. Abby was just starting to warm up to her when, one day, Katie came prancing in the room carrying "Abby's baby," which was Abby's favorite toy. Like a child, Abby got so mad. She retreated to her corner and scowled. I jumped in the car, headed to "Enerdyne" and, lucky for me, they had one left in a different shape and color. Fifteen minutes later, back at home, Abby was still in the corner and Katie still playing. I made a big deal presenting the new toy to Abby and happily, all was well. Oddly, although they shared all their other toys, from that day forward, they each only played with their own "baby!" Hee hee ... cats are so funny!

Cat Nap Wednesday

 Katie has a new habit when playing her favorite game - Mousey. When she's finished playing, she takes her mouse and leaves the room. (Notice Mousey is a stick toy.) We hear the stick being dragged along to a different room. After the game she normally goes to get a snack. (Hum ... go figure ... it must run in the family!)

 The other night Katie finished her game, took her toy, and left the room. So when I heard her meowing I figured she must be out of food, although the meow sounded different ... like she was concerned about something.  I was surprised to find she had dropped Mousey into her dish. Maybe she was planning to eat it? But why does she look so puzzled ... she put it there!

Silly Katie

 I think, in the past, we've mentioned that Katie has never been a kitty who plays a lot. (Well, she played A LOT as a kitten, but grew out of it.) We're happy to finally have a toy she likes. It's been over 2 years and she continues to play with this toy everyday. She lets us know, in a very demanding way, when it's time to play Mousey. Here is a link to where you can get a Mousey for your kitty. The toy Katie likes is called "The Cat Catcher."
