Toys
Question: What is a toy to a kitten?
Answer: Anything they want to be.
Fluffy's favorite real toys are a set of lattice balls with a jingle bell inside. She has several of them scattered around the house. Besides being fun to bat around and chase, they can be carried and dropped into shoes. The best shoes for balls are my blue rubber clogs. I guess that's because she can manage to remove the ball and then drop it in the shoe again.
The coiled vacuum cleaner hose is tons of fun. It even plays back a little bit. Of course, it's only fun when it's sleeping and not making loud noises. Dropping the jingle balls in the middle of the coil really adds to the fun. Of course the fact that I have to continually return said vacuum to it's resting spot is irrelevant.
The latest vehicle of choice is the dust pan. After removing it from where it belongs you sit in it and slide all over the kitchen floor. Yes, the dust pan has replaced the food trays for kitchen surfing.
Now that it's gotten cold, I've been wearing my long flannel nightgown. It's a lot of fun to hide under it, bat it when it moves and even climb. The fact that my legs are under it just makes the game more fun and adds to the game of chasing my feet as I walk.
Towels and clothes being removed from the dryer and folded must be caught. Yes, there is nothing like trying to fold a towel with a cat hanging from one corner of it.
