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!

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday so I thought I'd show you what Santa Claws brought me for Christmas. I know that Sadie made it seem like she heard Santa and his reindeer on the roof but actually I was the one who heard him and told her after he left the presents. I've seen how she chases kitties out of our yard so I didn't want any reindeer being chased away...

Santa brought me a specially made Kansas City Chiefs nip mouse and oh is it good!

I also got a really comfy bed that I spent a lot of time kneading to make sure the stuffing was just right...

I brought my mouse on my bed and tried to enjoy the evening but my little sisfur was all nipped out on her jalapeno pepper mouse...

Hey Bella, look how my pepper is flying on this string like a kite...

Uh, Daddy, I think Angel might need a nip intervention!

Some kitties just can't handle their nip.

Hope you have a great Tortie Tuesday!

Do Mice Break?

I think Angel's mouse is broken.

I don't think mice are supposed to be in two pieces.

Shouldn't the tail be attached behind the mouse, not beside the mouse?

My mouse isn't broken, it's just broken in.

It's also now twice the fun!

Hope you have a fun day!

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?
