Whenever it rained he would go out and dig up one and bring it back, draped in his mouth like a Fu-Manchu moustache. He'd then spit it on the floor, pat it a bit to get it thrashing, -then go out for another. Some nights the catflap would be going continuously and the carpet would have half a dozen worms squirming around and heading off in various directions. I guess he was looking for the perfect worm. He was nice enough to fetch his sister one and get it going for her -but she'd just give it the usual horrified look she gives all his prey. <br />She likes moths, the bigger and flutterier the better. She eventually learned not to open her mouth to miaow to tell me to look at what she'd got as they then escaped. She now says "Mffff" with clenched teeth until she's sucked all the dust off them.

We pull them along the floor and under our knees for her to chase. When we're in bed she spends her time chewing them to pieces.

I find feet under the duvet to be good, and inexpensive (unless you don't own a duvet) and failed crochet attempts work well too. Just leave a long piece of wool hanging off the knitting/crochet and tie around a door handle until it's mauled to bits :)L Wallacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274407214231806910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-14264204492375957412010-01-18T06:09:12.560-08:002010-01-18T06:09:12.560-08:00One of my cats has a potentially fatal addiction t...One of my cats has a potentially fatal addiction to elastic bands which, obviously, have to be carefully hidden so he doesn't choke himself.<br /><br />And yet I persist with the idea that they're pretty smart, really.Alexhttp://alexandragoldstein.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-89881931104404622382008-05-26T06:42:00.000-07:002008-05-26T06:42:00.000-07:00The "thing" is obviously a tribble...The "thing" is obviously a <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribble_(Star_Trek)" REL="nofollow">tribble</A>...Nancy Weitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320725791542581308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-39560503593206867012008-05-20T05:21:00.000-07:002008-05-20T05:21:00.000-07:00I bought a fluffy "thing" like this for my own lit...I bought a fluffy "thing" like this for my own little horror, Jazz Cat. She gave me one of her special looks she saves for when I'm being particularly dense. I bought her a remote control mouse; Jazz Cat hid under the table for six hours. She will happily play for hours with a beansprout dropped when cooking though, or with the long leaves of my most delicate houseplant.<BR/><BR/>Occasionally, she'll chase a piece of screwed up paper across the room, but more often she watches me go and get it myself with that quizzical "Are you having a good game there?" look on her face.<BR/><BR/>I try not to think too hard about the money I must have wasted on cat toys over the years!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10190001823209562902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-88453417204464118272008-05-18T09:44:00.000-07:002008-05-18T09:44:00.000-07:00Read about the book on Petstreet so thought I'd ta...Read about the book on Petstreet so thought I'd take a look - well done...and on the rest : 0 )LesleyAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536463971373505552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-39692034413444478232008-05-17T11:11:00.000-07:002008-05-17T11:11:00.000-07:00Those are wonderful alternative toys!

We have that Thing, too, and it's great for chomping, tossing, and grooming! Bonnie's favorite when she was younger was any bit of foil rolled into a ball. She still begs for candy wrappers (Hershey's kisses) and occasionally will chase one if flung across the room.<BR/>Great post!Victor Tabbycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06550868924719353914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-336850018246988345.post-81515043475599141982008-05-17T10:08:00.000-07:002008-05-17T10:08:00.000-07:00On of my cats, Gus, likes to bring in the round pl...On of my cats, Gus, likes to bring in the round plastic rings found on top of bottles he can play for ages with one of these. Also, he likes to bring in babys' dummies found discarded in the road. He doesn't like babies but can play happily with the dummy. <BR/>I have bought play mice in the past but find they prefer the 'play with the invisible toy' where they pretend they have a mouse and chase round like mad things.<BR/>But you must continue to buy these toys for research. So as to try them out for us so we know not to buy them!!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02331708332502549033noreply@blogger.com
