So I'm at the store
this morning when I spotted a small berber fleece mouse in the pet
section...now, I've gone off buying many cat toys for reasons I'm sure you all
share (an expensive cat toy will be sitting untouched in the middle of the room,
but in the meantime, a fight ensues over one of my hair ties)...but I thought,
"Hey, they've got a toy similar to this one that I know at least a *few* of them
will play with!" So I went for it...Well, I get home, get the toy out of
the package and toss it in front of one of the boys anticipating joy and
rapture...nothing...I finally had to roll it in catnip just to get one of them
moderately interested in it! In the meantime, I open a bottle of milk and
toss the ring on the floor (knowing in the back of my mind what would happen,
but not willing to admit it just yet)...chaos ensues as Sleepypants flits it
across the room and 6 cats give chase! I try not to let on that I'm just
the tiniest bit bitter...but just to add insult to injury, Boots (who never
plays with cat toys) pulls out the *old* berber mouse and starts playing with it
right in front of me! Okay, okay...I get the point
already!
Just thought I'd
share my lesson from the cats this morning..."You don't need to spend money to
have a good time!" :)
