What did your pet(s) do today?

If Diva Kitty just rubbed her paws on it (made biscuits), I would understand, but no, she actually plays with the thing. She has discovered that it's light enough that she can hold it with two paws when it's collapsed. Just goes to show, you can't predict what cats will like as a toy.

Loki always loves feathers, which isn't unusual but now he loves this golf ball I picked up at work. I think it's the CLUNK it makes as it bangs into things. He's also a freak about Q tips. He will hurt someone to get it and then he chews all the cotton off of it and leaves them slimy and naked all over the place.

Gracie loves tiny things. I have a corrugated cardboard box section for their claw sharpening and she will play for days with some of the shreds from that. Also, I had a reusable bag that had a torn handle and she played with that as well so I ripped off the handle and she played with that last night.

My cats will also not use any scratch material that's hanging so I have to put them all on the floor. I have one looped around a coffee table leg and the other one tucked under a scratch material tunnel they have.

Cats are weird.

I think it is funny when the kitties watch me in a mirror. They both do it.

Diva Kitty settled down to watch me get ready for work this morning. Uh-oh, here comes the hair dryer! <Zooming kitty races down the stairs>

Miss Petunia is going to run out of all her Kitten-Lives if she doesn't quit running out to the road to lay down on the rocky gravel that lures her to race across the road (as well). She nearly got hit by a car, last time I went over to see her. She scares me sometimes.

I go over to babysit her in February, possibly in January too.

Miss Petunia is very old, for a pearly gray Tuxedo Kitten. She gets prettier each year that goes by. I want to get her some pretty purple charms to hang from her purple kitten collar, since the purple bell charm no longer rings like a bell. It just goes .. *tink-tink-tink* .. once in a purple moon.

I was playing online and realized that it was very quiet.....too quiet. I looked around and found Gracie snuggled in the cushions of the sofa so I loved on her a bit but I could not find Loki. He's a biiiiiig kitty and he was up front and present for breakfast so I knew he could only be in the living area or the bathroom. I checked the bathroom. No Loki. I searched every surface in the living area. No Loki. Then I went to the only other place he could be....under the chaise lounge. I called but he didn't make a sound. I looked around the edges of it and heard and saw nothing.

I told Gracie that Loki may have been sucked into a vortex to another dimension and she seemed to be pleased at that since Loki bullies her a lot.

Then I went back and called him again and finally saw the tiny tip of a buff colored ear with a muted 'mew' at one of the lounge's corners. I asked if he was ready to come out and he said 'mooowww' so I lifted the corner up and out he came.

You would think that he would remember that he hasn't figured a way out from underneath that thing but no. No memories at all of all the times I've had to rescue him from it. What happens is that he either gets too scared or is too intense in chasing Gracie and he'll get his way in but never seems to have the same motivation to get himself out. Maybe I'll leave him under there next time so he can figure it out himself. Things are a lot more relaxed when he's trapped. I know Gracie appreciated the time 'off'.

I do not have a pet at the moment but have had dogs and a few cats all my life. I found out that the best way to protect pets is to use cord covers on all electrical cords that they can get at. Puppies are like babies, they need to be protected and so do our cords. I always got mine at a hardware store.

Chad · 12-11-2019, 09:12 PM

Right now the kitties are hogging the bed. Haha!

Thanks! That's something that's never crossed my mind, I didn't even know they made something like that.

I ran out of the house at 8:30 to help someone load their moving van and Loki sneaked in the bathroom before I shut the door and I didn't see him so he apparently had a grand ole time for 6 hours in the bathroom. I thought something was up when Gracie met me at the door when I came in. That's Loki's job.

So, he found the Q-tips. He has a thing for them. Now, he's chewing on it and tossing it in the air and running around and then back to it and growling at Gracie for daring to look at him from across the room whilst he does all that.

Yep, that's my cat.
