But if they return packages to the sender immediately now, that doesn't help me.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. Go get 'em!
ION, I just scared the crap out of my minion by asking her to come into my office. Really, I just wanted to talk about her officemate's going-away party! I think she thought she was getting fired. Because she's nuts.
I love how the one is sleeping ON the other's head.
q-tips are probably Devi's favorite toy ever.
My mother once had a kitten that would fetch ... but only crumpled up cellophane wrappers. She'd really fetch - my mother would toss the cellophane and the kitten would scamper after it and bring it back to her and wait for her to toss it again.
My sister had a cat that loved to play fetch with the rubber bands that she'd get wrapped around the day's newspaper. She'd shoot it across the room, Penguin would scramble over and pick it up, and then she'd bring it back to Kris and drop it at her feet.
She had to be careful, though, and make sure that Penguin didn't swallow it.
Timelies all!
The cats play with everything. Catnip toys, the remains of a Cat Dancer(at this point it's just a piece of wire with one lone bit of paper), the humans, each other....
I just wish UPS/FedEX would deliver to the local shops that are UPS/FedEx brand. There's one of each within a couple blocks of me, but they won't do that. I mean, that is to say, if I can't get the package for some reason, they won't leave it there, they have to leave it at the main place, which is in bumfuck and only open useless hours.
Immanuel and Kripkat fetch with their toys. Yesterday morning I was lying on my stomach on the couch and Kripkat dropped a mouse on my back, thinking that would be a good time for me to throw it. I declined.
My cats play catch, not fetch. The best cat toy is the end of a quarter roll. You can put it on the end of your finger and flick it so that it flies around like a large round insect.
Oh yesh, I wake up in bed with cat toys all the time. I think Devi is the main culprit, but I wouldn't put it past Loki. He's the one who goes crackers trying to open the clear index card box I keep the fake mice in.
Devi's always brought me things to throw for her. Including dead mice.
I am continually amazed that creatures of such a radically different species as a cat would be so enamored of us that they want to play with us. And sleep on us, and talk to us, etc.
