CATCH THIS ACT

Am I actin' & lookin' sweet & innocent enough? Meowmuh still hasn't noticed the crooked picture. You know, we have dozens of earthquakes in Los Angeles. None recently? None today? Well, she won't know. She's busy & tired. I'm just gonna' kick-it up here. I'm on the top step of the cat tree now. My ears almost brush the ceiling. Well, not really. I'm not a liar.

DIVERSION

Gotta' admit. I'm gettin' just a wee bit nervous. There must be a way out of this. Maybe if I jump up there -- you know, on the valance for the vertical blinds. I haven't been up there before. Would it hold me?  Hmm.

I'M REACHIN'--

OK. I went one step higher. I'll get it, don't get your whiskers frazzled. I can do this. I'm balanced, I'm reaching, reaching---oh, oh.  I can't quite get it. Oh, no. The stupid picture moved! Now it's all crooked!  Meowmuh won't notice. She's busy & tired.  Besides, I know what to do. Done it before, can do it again. I'll act nonchalant. I'll be my usual sweet & innocent self.

WHAT'S THAT?

Do you see what I see from our new cat tree? Look at the corner of that picture. It's Meowmuh's new cat necklace! How can I get it? Maybe if I go up one more step. It would be so fun to bat around. The other cats would love it too. They're always saying:  "Sophee, you find such fun things." It's easy-peasy--just check the counters!

WANNA' NO MY FAV TOY?

Spirit & his fav toy, Mousie

Mousie is my fav toy. Meowmuh throws Mousie, I dash after Mousie (yep, knocking over whatever's in my way), I catch Mousie & drop her @ Meowmuh's feet again.  Read the Related Mews N News article Do Cats Need Toys

DO CATS NEED TOYS?

Cats do not like to be bored when they are awake.  Natural predators that they are, they love a toy that they can chase, pounce, capture, carry, bite, and roll around with.  Some toys in our house I buy at the store and some are gifts to my cats from my friends and relatives.   Those are the store-bought toys like the plastic wand with the long strip of brightly colored material on it, the infamous laser, the ball that races around a track and Mousie – Spirit’s favorite toy.  Many toys are laced with catnip which some of my cats are attracted to sometimes.  But the ‘other’ toys?   Over the years, I have learned that there is no predicting what a cat will consider
