| 3133.1 | I'm off to the toy store, hic-cup! | ASABET::CUNNIFF | | Tue Dec 12 1989 10:59 | 11 |
| Yay CJ -
This is proof that you can't always depend on a toy's cost as a measure
of how much the cat will like it (24.95 for a cat-fishing rod??),
it's always trash/junk that cats like best.
I'm really excited now - with seven cats under the roof, that's lots of
bubbly I'll have to drink. (gee, I wonder if "Mumms" has wire tops the
cats will like?)

| CJ, that's what I need for T.K.! The fat blob was up to 16 1/2
pounds at his recent annual exam -- up 6 1/2 pounds from last year!!
He's currently on IAMS light and not at all happy about it. I've
yet to see this cat play with anything but food!!
Murdock has devised a new method of playtime for the cats. You
know those "shaker" things you buy at cat shows? It's a long stick
with a bunch of fringe like things on the end? Well, Murdock takes
the end of the stick in his mouth, then runs around in circles with
it on the floor while the other cats chase the fringe. It's
hysterical!! That silly cat thinks of more ways to keep us laughing!
I won't even go into how he watches "The Young and the Restless"
with us every night....

| Hmm. I can see it now, champagne on one hand, "chocolate orgasms" in the
other, and cats underfoot (and anywhere else they fit!) Sounds like a
good reason for another party!

| 3133.8 | My vote? Free toys are better!!! | ISLNDS::BROUGH | | Fri Dec 15 1989 15:37 | 20 |
| I have to agree with the free toys. I have gone to department
stores and gone to the pet department and picked out a few catnip
toys and bring them home to the little monsters. The last toy I
bought for them was a cylindrical tube with a bell inside and the
whole thing is covered with carpet (at $5.00 I thought what the
heck). The little guys don't really care for it BUT when I opened
a quart bottle of milk and the blue plastic ring fell on the floor,
they hd a ball. Pixie (the male) has to always steal it from Dixie
(the female) even though he has his own. It is a riot watching
him pick the thing up and run all over the house with it, then he
plops down on the floor with it and bats in around his body. One
more thing that Pixie likes is ping-pong balls, but unfortunately,
once they roll downstairs, he gives up on them. I rolled one around
in the kitchen and he takes off through the living room, dining
room, through the kitchen down to the cellar, then it's back upstairs
to plop down in front of me as if to say, okay lunkhead I got it
downstairs, it's up to you to get it back up here - it's too big
to get in my mouth.
Cats, you can live with them, or you can live with them.

| Ha, my Lara had a neat trick with respect to free toys.
When I was showing her, I would walk around the show
hall with her once during the day just for a change
of scenery for her. I'd walk her over to the Hadleigh
House vending area so she could say hi to Martha. While
Martha was scratching Lara's head, Lara would be busy
trying to grab a mousie (the ones with the rabbit fur).
OF course Martha would say, "Oh, let her take one!" and
of course Lara would snag the mousie of her choice !!
Little devil !!

| My Jasper also like the ring off a milk bottle.!! But she likes
to play fetch with it. Throw it from the living room into the dining
room, she races to then rolls around for a few minutes, brings it
to you on the couch and waits to have you throw it again.
She also does this with rubber bands (which she doesn't eat), but
has taken to digging in the cushions looking for her toys which
she "knows" that she left there!! 8-) She fetches better than the
dog does! (Nikki doesn't like to give you back the toy that you
just threw for her!)
The one great success in store bought toys was a little stuffed
fish which starts out on a stretchy string. This lasts about 1-2
days and then gets chewed off. But Duchess likes to "kill" her
fish (usually at least once a day!) and leave it for us in various
places around the house, the most creative (and annoying!) being
the large water bowl. I look at her and say, "Duchess, I know that
real fishys live in water, but you have to understand that this
is not a real fishy" as I wring it out and put it on the counter
to dry. A couple of days later, there it is--in the water bowl!!
How do we get through to them???
Oh, well--Mommy just went out and got new Christmas toys and a big
present, a window shelf that all five of them can fight over!!!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all

| 3133.11 | Buddy loves Dental Floss.... | SELL3::MAZOLA | | Thu Dec 28 1989 12:33 | 20 |
| Oh, that's SO FUNNY!! For new year's this year, my fiance and I
(and Buddy) are have a quiet celebration at home. I'll DEFINATELY
try it!!
Buddy is funny.... he goes after the dental floss when I do my teeth!
Yup, sure enough, everytime I head for the bathroom (at ANYTIME for
ANY REASON) he follows me in hopes to find the "all mighty" dental
floss"!! Before I go to bed, when I wash my face and stuff, he'll
plant himself on the corner of the sink!!! In the morning, or at
night... he USE to just race in and jump up on the toilet seat rim,
get his balance and then jump up on the sink, but once he slipped and
fell into the toilet! HAHA AHAAHA!! I laughed SO HARD!! It was the
funniest thing!
Now he runs to the toilet, looks at ME and asks ME to put the lid down,
so he can jump up safely....haahaha he's funny.
Cheers!
