ROTFLMAOWTIME! Yep, fer shure! > who is watching disdainfully in the background? is that sammy? > bless them all Yes, that's Sammy - but she's not being disdainful - she' waiting for a chance to play with Archer (he's her favorite). Archer is only 7.5 pounds, Sammy is close to 20 pounds - but Archer will run across the floor, leap into the air, and come down on top of her grabbing her throat in his jaws (well, ok, maybe it's more like grabbing a little of the 2" long, thick hair around her neck). Then they go rolling across the floor and chasing each other up and down the stairs, over furniture, and back again. Sammy, at 3.5 years, still has a LOT of kitten in her. Ozzy, on the other hand, has a love/fear relation ship with Sammy. He LUUUUUURRRRRVES her, but he's a bit afraid of her. Yesterday when I was clipping her claws, Ozzy was right there trying to pull the sock over her head. Then when we put the halter on her and leashed her to the sofa (the only furniture she's not strong enough to pull across the floor) to brush her, Ozzy was there trying to gnaw the leash in two. He wants so bad to be her hero, but she's just so darn *HUGE* that he is in awe of her! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flI3mRn76ro Does he body slam it? Gracie does that with her poor headless snake. And I have bought all kinds of new snakes, but this is the only one she loves. >> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flI3mRn76ro > > Does he body slam it?

The funniest thing, though, is when he tries to fit it inside the "house" on top of their cat tree so he can sleep with it (or guard it while he sleeps since he doesn't let any other cat near it). He holds it by the "neck" (the band of plastic that used to hold the feathers on the end), climbs up the tree with it, but then he can't maneuver it around because the wand is too long to fit inside. He ends up laying on top of it ,with the handle end of the wand sticking out, but with his paw on it!

It must have sentimental value to him!" And how do you think Archer would feel with you calling him a "her?" Gabby's newest toy (purchased last night) is a laser pointer. He absolutely goes bonkers for this thing. I'd have him blistering down the hall, fishtailing (and sometimes thudding against the bathroom door) and speeding back up the hallway, leaping over the dogs onto the couch, running Matrix-style across the back of the couch horizontally (not the back, but where the cushions lay up against it). Definitely saves a little wear and tear on my arm playing with a wand. I would have to say though, Gabby's favorite toy is these jumbo pipe cleaners (the soft kind, not rough bristles) from the crafts store. I noticed he ALWAYS steals the bread ties off the counter and plays with them non-stop, so I figured why not get some huge ones and sure enough... he'll carry them wherever he goes. If he gets spooked, he makes sure he snatches them in his mouth before running under the bed or the baby's playpen. Signature-Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me.

I've got to fix that. I had only female cats for 17 years, so it's sort of a habit. > Gabby's newest toy (purchased last night) is a laser pointer. He > absolutely goes bonkers for this thing.

Wow, how did I forget to tell you about this one when we were discussing how to get Gabby's to stop biting. It makes a wonderful distraction because they love it (as you've discovered). Try running the dot up to the edge of a rug and then suddenly turning it off - they go crazy trying to find out where the "bug" went to. > Definitely saves a little wear and tear on my arm playing with a > wand.

He may be scared, but he's not stupid! ;> The plastic rings from the top of milk cartons are usually a hit with them too. But nothing, not a single thing beats and empty cardboard box!

Heck, you may have told me about it and I just forgot. I know I mentioned I cannot wait for Gabby's Christmas order to come in so he could have some more things to occupy his time -- the spouse walks through the door last night and says, "Here's your savior, love." <snip> > LOL!

Oh yeah, I forgot about those. We play a game with the milk top rings, but he has managed to run off with a few... ...and yeah, favorite hiding spot since he got here has always been one of the baby's empty diaper boxes. Now her playpen, and also a Red Bull case -- only if its half empty. Signature-Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding.

No I am not. please just be careful they don't swallow any of these things like bread bag ties and the like. i didn't a cat could ingest a whole pyjama bottoms cord but tegan managed to somehow and it took an operation to remove it, that was not a pleasant christmas at all. sorry to sound like such a kill joy but accidents do happen bookie Response to bookie <emily_booker@hotmail.com>: > please just be careful they don't swallow any of these things like > bread bag ties and the like. i didn't a cat could ingest a whole > pyjama bottoms cord but tegan managed to somehow and it took an > operation to remove it, that was not a pleasant christmas at all. > > sorry to sound like such a kill joy but accidents do happen No, no, not at all! It makes perfect sense and experience pays much better than inexperience. That's part of why I got these jumbo furry pipe cleaners. I would bet money on the fact he cannot swallow it. Plus my girls have twisted a few of them together to make it more bouncy and responsive. Thanks for the advice. Signature-Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me.

Cats chose the weirdest things to love & play with. Ringo likes to cart around the feather duster too. It makes him sneeze though!??? Sheelagh >"o"< |
