It seems that in celebration of the International Cat Day I got a new toy (as you can see in the photo). If you read here, you can see it was last Monday. On this specific day (August 8th) we cats, can get away with everything as our humble human pets will venerate and pay us respect. To tell you the truth I don’t find this new toy too entertaining or amusing so I’m going to using it as a “fancy” pillow! I don’t want to hurt my humans’ feeling telling them the truth. I know they meant well (but I doubt their IQ – psst! that’s our secret George!). By the way, any idea what else I can do with this new toy?
Cheers,
Chico
Dear Chico,
I've got a version of this toy, and if my human starts it rolling then I find it quite interesting. But a lot of the time it just sits there without moving. That is boring, boring, boring. I think it would be better if my human put down a new toy every two or three days and took away the old one. Or at least started that white ball rolling for you.
See if you like the Da Bird fishing rod toy too. It's my favourite. It needs a human the other end, but Celia will wave it about while she is watching old back sessions of The West Wing so even the idlest pet owner (and she is idle in the evening) can join in the play.

George.
PS. There are home made toys that cost nothing - dried broad beans (too large to swallow whole!), cardboard boxes, old lavatory rolls and so forth. Look here for some ideas.
Hi Chico!
ReplyDeleteI'm very fussy about what I play with. Most 'toys'... well they're just not much fun. I do like screwed up balls of foil though, they move so well on the laminate flooring. My human will keep checking I'm not shredding and eating them though (as if I would, huh!). Oh, and the red dot. I looooooove chasing the red dot. Sometimes when I'm frustrated I 'kill' Mr Squeaky too. He's not a real mouse but it's good to practice. Let your human know what you like, how will they learn otherwise? My human gives toys I reject to the Cats Protection branch who looked after me before I adopted her. There's probably some silly kittens who will like them.

Hi Chico, I had a similar toy when I was a kitten! It seems this toy is better enjoyed by kittens than adult cats! My Mom gives toys and food to a local shelter too!

Hi Chico - Mum buys us toys we don't need and there's a cupboard stuffed with useless things.
ReplyDeleteHumans we find seem to love to find you "something I thought you'd love to play with toys" which of course we don't love to play with at all!" We'd prefer a nap in the sunshine or on winter days sit on a radiator.
