Along with boxes and paper bags, cats adore string.  I was digging around in
a junk drawer and found a very long heavy (like a shoelace) string, about 6
feet long.  Lord knows why I have it but have it I do.  So I wrapped it
around the doorknob of Persia's favourite closet with the ends dangling.
Didn't take her long to discover it!

First she sat and batted at it.  Then she flopped down on her side and
attacked it with both front paws.  Being a string, it of course resisted her
attempts to subdue it by waving wildly about.  This only renewed her
perseverance!  She was going to subdue this string, regardless!  She tried
using the bunny-kick method, all four paws, to capture the nefarious string.
She finally managed to grab one end of it and get it in her mouth.  Then she
tugged until it came off the doorknob.  Conquest complete, she dragged the
string into the other room to kill it properly :)  This involved some
rolling and more bunny-kicking.

Mean mommy that I am, I took it away from her before she could get all
wrapped up in it and strangle herself.  It's back on the doorknob waiting
patiently for her next attack.

Jill <--who will always supervise string-play but gosh I wish I had a video
camera!
