Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005a strip of toilet paper and
my cat has the best toy ever made..... all he needs is like 6 little squares of toilet paper and he plays and plays with it for hours and he is 10 years old. I have bought just about every cat toy ever made over the years and even have a toy box to store all these things in. It is only about 1.5 inches high and there are feather toys, mice, little shiny things with strings, balls, you name it. Give Case a short sheet of toilet paper and he rolls around with it, plays fight with it and throws it up in the air. He is in his glory with that. Go figure.. Every other day I throw him a new sheet of toilet paper and he is in heaven for days. Yup. The perfect kitty toy. Along with bread twisties. LOL Katz > Yup. The perfect kitty toy. Along with bread twisties. LOL > > Katz LOL! and Q-tips Not to be a spoil-sport, but do please be careful about giving a kitten a wire and plastic twist tie thingie! My sister's dog ate one, and generated several hundred dollars worth of vet bills, as it did some damage on the way down and tore up parts of her stomach and intestine. And this was the dog that ate half a box of carpet tacks, and passed them all with no ill effects. Of course, the vet was poking cotton balls and mineral oil down the poor dog, to make everything "flow through" so to speak. But Maddie was fine, and I think the vet wrote a paper about the Corgi Who Ate the Carpet Tacks And Lived to tell the tale. ANyway, Toilet paper AND paper towel tubes are a big hit with Nina. So, surprisingly, are oven mitts. She carries them into my bedroom, and arranges them artistically on top of her piles of shreded toilet paper, and mauled paper towels. I think in a past life she was an avant garde sculptor. Melissa >Not to be a spoil-sport, but do please be careful about giving a kitten >a wire and plastic twist tie thingie!

You never knew this was such a useful item. He rummages around in the paper, and fluffs it up a bit. He knocks the box over, and hauls all the paper out, and creates a little installation on the floor around the box. When I replace the paper, he rummages around in it some more, and gets it all fluffy again. Then he climbs into the box, sits on it and squashes it. Repeat. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Not to be a spoil-sport, but do please be careful about giving a kitten > a wire and plastic twist tie thingie!

As a teenager, I had an exceptionally small miniature dachshund named Peter [formall, Graf Peter von Pfanne], who was born without testicles and never grew beyond 4-pound puppy size. One day, we came him home to find him ill. Ill may not be the correct word. He was developing significant thrust from the rear nozzle, and his eyes? I can best describe the expression in his eyes as looking like the wheels of a slot machine just after the handle has been pulled. We rushed him to our vet, and found he seemed to be in no immediate danger. We were mystified at the discharge, and the vet and I went into the lab to try to analyze it -- I had had enough clinical lab work to be useful. At first, we thought it was mucus -- but it wouldn't take up any stains, and there were only insignificant numbers of epithelial and blood cells in it. Meanwhile, Peter was regaining his dignity, and, carefully, we took him home. No diagnosis, but he seemed OK. THe next day, I was picking up something from the floor, and happened to look under the couch. There, underneath, was a just-bought one-pound jar of Vaseline. A four pound dog had eaten a quarter of his body weight in petroleum jelly. >Yup. The perfect kitty toy. Along with bread twisties. LOL Silver's obsessed with twist-ties... I don't like to let her play with them because they've got sharp metal things in them, but she steals them if she thinks she can get away with it... then she sits there for hours batting it around and picking it up and tossing it around the room - until I see her and confiscate it! ~Karen aka Kajikit Crafts, cats, and chocolate - the three essentials of life http://www.kajikitscorner.com *remove 'nospam' to reply >Yup.

Martha's favourite toy is an old copy of "Biography" magazine. I've read it but leave it on the bedroom floor because she likes to pounce on the dot over the "i" in "Biography". Unfortunately I'm going to have to substitute a more recent issue because she's shredded the one on the floor. I wondered what the ripping sound was, early the other morning! > " > > Martha's favourite toy is an old copy of "Biography" magazine. Now, that's the silliest thing I've ever read! ;o) Katz > Martha's favourite toy is an old copy of "Biography" magazine.

This reminds me of Frank's nephew, Igor. When he arrived in his onetruehome (with a friend of mine) as a kitten, he immediately spotted this Mexican rug she had. There were multi-coloured stylised fishes on it, and Igor started pouncing on their eyes.

Yup. The Stinkster's preference is nice crisp sheets of tissue paper, but it amounts to the same thing. Silly guy. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh My Blog: http://www.humanitas.blogspot.com > Every other day I throw him a new sheet of toilet paper and he is in heaven > for days. Redunzel is also a toilet paper fan but in her case she likes to rip it off the roll so in our house whenever we have guests and they say "Can I use the toilet?" We have to go and get the toilet paper out of the bedroom because that's where we keep it. Our friends are well used to this by now but occasional strangers give us some very funny looks when one of us goes in the bedroom then comes out and hands them the toilet paper..... And as for a box of tissues.....Redunzel's in Heaven whenever we get a new box, she loves ripping them out.... We blow our noses on scraps of tissue loaded with cat hair Lesley Slave of the Fabulous Furballs
