At this very moment....

My cat is pushing an empty kitty litter box around the apartment with his face.

OK and here's another thing. Anyone else here have cats that drag clothes into the food? If their is an article of clothing anywhere near their food dish, they drag into said food dish. Are they trying to bury it to dig up in the winter when cans of "ocean fish" are hard to come by or what?

never happened to me. i've yet to figure out an explanation for the magnetic effect of the inside of a brown paper bag, either.

 

[minxnim]

actually my roommate's cat dragged my silk scarf into her friskies senior a few weeks ago.

 

[Stultus]

But then she's demented.

 

[minxnim]

i am starting to wonder if she totally really is... and blind also. although interestingly, she attacked a centipede and totally chase it and ate it. the process took about 7 or 8 minutes and was enthralling and gross.

 

[Stultus]

As long as she continues to work for her rent...

never seen the clothes thing, but the paper bag most definitely has magnetic properties. usually, ones with handles are most fun, because once inside the bag, you can snatch up (with said handles) a Bag O' Kitty.

also: whatever toys you buy are of negligable value. wadded up paper is key. for my sister's cat, we used dollar bills wadded up. actually, one time my gf found this paper that has catnip on it and you wad up the paper and they bat it around like crazy. the paper ended up being soaked with cat drool. but very entertaining.

WELL NOW THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG.

the rule of cat toys is, the more expensive the toy, the less interested the cat is in it.

 

[xfer]

hah absolutely, eric.

also key is a cardboard box with a single quarter-sized hole. you can wiggle your finger near it and suddenly a seven-inch, furry cat arm ROCKETS out of the hole with its claws flailing!

goatschool's cat really liked the toy i bought for him! the crinkle snake!

[azal]

I don't see it...sorry

 

[xfer]

wow the "crinkle snake" comment is just going to slip forgotten into the aether!

actually, i think the azal troll post pic generally precludes the need for an actual comment. that's meta, baby!

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah we have fur mice that do okay with the cats, but nothing beats the ultimate plaything: Tara's hair. Tara's got a few scratches on her forehead to prove it.

sam you should try as a cat toy, those plastic rings that you pull off a fresh gallon of milk. Cats go crazy for those for some reason.

this pic is hosted on a kitty site!

 

[FalseTodd]

Yeah, they do love those, and unfortunately they have a preponderance for audio cables and camera straps as well.

and tinsel on a christmas tree. nothing like cleaning the cat box and finding turds with tiny silver filagrees.
