No point in having kitties if you don’t engage them in wand toy games or other kitty-licious fun! So, before Dougy started whining for kitty fun, I decided today to fish for kitties. Well, “kitty”, because Andy was off having a little post medicine treat. (He came around later for kitty fun, so don’t worry! I play with both kitties.)
=(^+^)=
How long will it take for Dougy to notice?
Suspicious at last!
It’s a kitty-licious frenzy! RAWR!!!
Caught it!
The play continues until…
Dougy’s sated.
It won’t be long, though, before he wants to play again, and I am ready.
Ir’s funny what cats like. Mi Sun only like a wand tou and only for a little while. Cloud is indifferent to wand roys but pull out the laser dot and you’d think he was a golden retriever. Are they starting to get their winter coats? Their fur has looked great the last few posts.
Post 1201 (for today) shows that my kitty boys aren’t always thrilled to play with wand toys, either. They do have their favorites and they do get tired of even those sometimes.
Yes, I think they are getting winter coats even though they are indoor cats. Of course, their hair grows very fast between their bi-monthly grooming sessions. I am tempted to try extending that to every three months.
However, there are benefits to grooming.
The primary reason I started having them groomed was to deal with poopy butts and impacted bowel movements that required sticking the affected cat in the bathroom sink filled part way with water and manually manipulating the poop out of the hair…. UGH! Getting the so-called “sanitary trim” helps a lot, plus I think they are cute as heck with the teddy bear cut.
2 out of the 9 cats here have long hair, and I am familiar with the poop stuck in the tail feathers. We call it “Kling-ons” 🙂
LOL! I used the old, less imaginative “dingleberries”, but the process of removal would still be the same! Ugh!
You are quite the hunter Dougy.
He’s a regular wand toy killer! Andy is even more aggressive.
A good day’s play. Isn’t it funny how they can ignore one completely when they don’t feel the mood…no guilt fillings just ignore one completely. LOL
Exactly! I try to attend to their demands, but they have days when they want to play (the most typical demand) more than usual. Dougy is very vocal about it. Andy just comes up from behind and puts both paws on my arm or leg (depending on whether I’m sitting or standing).
Awww sweet boy needed a nap.
Whew!! Finally!
To be purrfectly honest Doug…and who pray tell who is not?…I often wonder; who is “fishing” whom around there? ~~dru~~
My poem entitled:
Tummy Rub
Just put your foot atop my tummy…
I promise not to scratch.
I just needz some rubbing mummie (in your case we’ll substitute “Dougy”
Right there on that real soft patch.
!!!AHA GOTCHA!!!
Somez peoplez just neverz learnz.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzpurr purr purrzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Loved the poem! I used to scratch Andy’s tummy as a kitten, but he definitely did the four paw capture business after a short time. It’s only been recently that I’ve felt confident enough to try scratching his tummy again. Fortunately, now he doesn’t claw my hand because he likes his tummy scratched. Dougy’s always been more open to scratching his tummy.
Yes, you are dead on about who is fishing whom, too!
Hello weggieboy -One play and the other one takes some rest- necessary – t is a little trauma for him. AmitiĂ©s de france 🙂
Peut-ĂŞtre, bien que Andy est moins ludique que son frère. Il est mon minou sĂ©rieux, l’intellectuel!
Perhaps, though Andy is less playful than his brother. He’s my serious kitty, the intellectual!
Wore him self out
And me, too, if one is honest about it! LOL!
I had three little dogs and they all wanted to chase the balls that were being tossed to them. It was never enough playing for them.
I can imagine. If they were terriers or one of those hyperactive breeds, you really had a handful with three! I wonder if small dogs would use one of those Bengal cat exercise wheels. Hmm!
laughing…
They were Shih Tzu (and the one last one is almost 18 years old). They are not generally not yappy. But they have hair instead of fur. Which makes them high maintenance. Their main gift is unconditional love.
They are a nice dog! I think they are easily my favorite small breed, from my experience with them.
I would say the same. Smart, rascals, affectionate and they will let you know if a stranger they will let you (and others) know there is someone around.
That’s a characteristic of cats I didn’t know about till I got the kitty boys! I don’t recall their predecessor showing the same curiosity. Of course, he was a rescue cat with a history of being an outdoor cat. (I had to let him continue that life.) He was worldly for a kitty.
They can hear people coming further than we can and can disappear faster than you would imagine.
Very true! And you can’t hear them sneak away!
And when you call them to find out what it was, they look at you like “I have no idea that happened.
LOL! Hey, I’m sure you notice they still give you that look if you witness them in the deed and they know it!
