Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2005Another cheap cat toy
Last Christmas we had some mixed nuts in the shells in a bowl by the tree. Cleo found them. She might have thought they were her present. She scooped out one, then another , and a third. An English walnut, an almond, and a pecan. She batted each one a few times and then decided to play with only one, the pecan. It must be the perfect weight. It's the perfect size for her to pick up in two paws and toss in the air. And since it isn't totally round it wobbles and turns as it rolls which makes it a perfect toy to chase. Cleo has decided pecans in the shell are her favorite toy. Good thing we still have some left. Debra in VA >Last Christmas we had some mixed nuts in the shells in a bowl by the >tree.

It's so funny to see her stand on her hind legs and delicately pick out a candy, then toss it in the air and run after it :) Jill >>> Last Christmas we had some mixed nuts in the shells in a bowl by the >>> tree.

Cherries are in season now (especially the black ones) so when I go to the store tomorrow I may buy some. We shall see if Persia likes to play with them :) Jill >>>>> Last Christmas we had some mixed nuts in the shells in a bowl by >>>>> the tree. Cleo found them.

The entry hall to my upstairs portion of Finavon Castle (where I lived in Scotland) was very old, slightly-warped planking. Bikikie stole several walnuts from a bowl I put out. I spent a LOT of time when I should've been sleeping, listening to her bowl up and down the length of that loonng hallway... Did me no good to confiscate the bowling ball, either, as she had a supply of them stashed somewhere. sigh...

[quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > some left. > Debra in VA While the rest of the cats think that nuts are great play toys, Tanada thinks that you are supposed to sleep in the bowl of nuts, and that they are very ergonomic for her back. Fortunately, she lets us have some to eat upon occasion. Pam S. |
