Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2010Buster's precious
Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is larger. When I was opened the jar, I twisted it a bit so that it will "sit up" when placed on the floor, instead of it laying flat. I intended it to amuse the kitties for a few minutes, but I didn't think that Buster would become so taken with it. For the past week, Buster's been keeping me up at night playing hockey with it. He also carries it wherever he goes, and sometimes cries and whines at it for no apparent reason. Usually he'll just sleep cuddled up next to it, so meatloaf in front of it, staring at the ring as though communing with it. This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats, but according to Buster, this one's special. :) > Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same > function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats, > but according to Buster, this one's special. :) It sounds as though your subject line is spot on.

In more ways than one. "Buster's" could be a possesive (which is how I read it at first). This could earn him the nickname "Gollum". Or it could be a contraction for "Buster is." And he is!

I'm awfully worshipful of them, and I can't even conceive of ever being without them. :) > Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same > function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats, > but according to Buster, this one's special. :) It is clearly the One Ring.

Hehe. He was hiding in plain sight with it before, meatloafing his stripey self in the slitted sunlight filtering through the blinds, making me almost step on him. >> On those occasions that Buster cannot be found, you can just figure that >> he is wearing the Ring... > Hehe.

Be prepared for an adventurous future. If it gets all chewed up, I'm going to toss it into the fires of Mount Doom. That, or the trash. :) It's actually more likely that he'll whap it under a bookshelf or something and come whining "Lost, my precious is lost!" > This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats, > but according to Buster, this one's special. :) I've noticed over the years that some cats will have a toy they seem to obsess over. As children, didn't most of us do the same thing? :-) Signature"They can not ask for kindness, or for mercy plead. Yet cruel is our blindness, which does not see their need.

Buster would eat you if you were smaller, you know..... > Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same > function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > This isn't the first plastic ring of this type I've tossed the cats, > but according to Buster, this one's special. :) We've been playing cat-hockey too. Kitten gets the stopper out of the bath tub, carries it into the kitchen tile, and bats it all over the place. I thought she'd love a milk ring, but she didn't. She also has found that lids to prescription bottles make nice hockey-pucks. And Tak, she is the smartest of all the cats Ilearned. With our power out, we had a small propane stove in the living room. She learned this is the best seat in the house. She would follow me into the living room first thing in the a.m. when I would light it. The four other cats were back huddled on my bed in the coldest room of the house. Sherry >> Buster has a new toy, a plastic lid ring, which basically has the same >> function as a milk jug ring, but being from a jar of cat treats, is [quoted text clipped - 26 lines] >were >back huddled on my bed in the coldest room of the house. How clever! But someday that cat is going to be 20 years old and still named, "Kitten". :) But then, you remember Joyce had a foster who was named "Kit-ten" for a while, but was later renamed Lambchop. Part of the attraction that the ring has to Buster is that he can "hook" it with his claws as well as hit it. I saw him put it in his pile on top of the red dog yesterday (that's the smaller sibling of the green dog - both plush loofa dog toys from PetCo). That means that it definitely meets his approval. |
