If you can't find your plastic bag to play with, a box is second best!
Saturday! Yippeee! Mom and Dad don’t run errands, do yardwork, laundry, any of that stuff – they concentrate on ME, ME, ME! Speaking of me, I want to take a minute to say thanks to all my recent visitors to the blog who are enjoying learning about my world. I’m enjoying hearing about all of YOU too. One thing I thought was way cool when I’ve visited other blogs is that we cats seem to really LOVE plastic bags and boxes. I was happy to hear I wasn’t the only one…….plastic bags make a great sound when you hop on them or slide across the floor on them or bat them around with your paw. And boxes – well – you know how I love those. I wear them out pretty quickly though so Mom keeps a ready supply of old empty Christmas boxes in her closet JUST FOR ME.
As some of you know, one of my first toys was an empty box that my parents tied a string on and pulled me around the house like a wagon. Probably sounds silly, but you cats know what I’m talkin’ about! Even after twelve years (almost) I still like a good box ride when I can get one.
We cats can find our fun without lots of expensive cat toys. We can be entertained for hours with an amazing variety of stuff like pieces of string, stray buttons, wads of paper – just about anything that’s loose and within reach. If you leave it out there – we’ll find it and steal it and sometimes hide it where you won’t even find it! We’re sneaky like that. Mom says there’s a “people saying” that one man’s trash is another man’s treasure…..well, I totally get that.
Ahhhh! I hear my favorite sound……Mom opening a can of cat food….so if you’ll excuse me, I’m headed downstairs for breakfast. A guy needs a lot of energy to keep up around here. Staying one paw ahead of my humans is my #1 priority (well, not counting taking a nap of course).
