The Mighty Mousie Hunter

I love mousies and play with them all the time but mostly at night so I can bring it's deaded little toy body right where Mommy steps in the morning! I thought I'd show you my mousie hunting technique. First I sneak up on it and whack it when it's not expecting it!
Then I dig my claws into it but yet don't show my cute face so it still has no idea what's happening. See it trying to get away... This takes great skill since not only can the mousie not see me, I can't see it either! I then slowly start to pull the mousie over the edge...
Now it's time to deaded it so if you're squimish you might want to look away...
That was so much fun! Sorry some of the photos are blurry but I get a little carried away when it comes to mousies!

What's your favorite toy?
Do you bring it to your beans like a trophy?

Hope you enjoy your day!

Broken In or Just Broken?

Ah, the scent of a purrfect toy...

It's hard work getting toys just right. Here are my favorite mousies in September 2008...

and today...

I think it's pretty neat how I turned two mousies into 4 pieces! The little pieces make it easier to whap...

And carry around...

And share with my sisfur...

I can't figure out how come Mommy thinks it's time to throw it away.

Do you have a favorite toy?

Hope you have a fun Thursday!

The Tale of a Toy with No Tail!

As is evident from yesterday's post, our cats have plenty of toys but Angel has a favorite cat toy that she plays with all the time. It's a mouse that my cat Panther had from years ago that Angel found soon after we adopted her as a kitten. Since then it has been all over this house and under every piece of furniture and also every door we have. Here is Angel's most favorite toy:

As you can tell, it's missing a tail and looking pretty shabby so we searched high and low for a replacement but couldn't find one anywhere. I even sent pictures to my mom in Las Vegas and had her search for one. One day we happened to walk into a store in Lincoln City, OR that sold all things for pets and lo and behold they had the mouse! It's actually a rat - Rosie Rat to be exact!

It actually has hair and a tail! Even with a brand new Rosie Rat, she won't give up the old one. It'll go missing for weeks and we think it's finally gone but it'll show up some morning after a night of playing. Do your kitties have a most favorite toy?
