Dougy usually stops by to let me know he wants to play “wand toy”. On the other paw, if he’s not in the mood, don’t waste your – or his – time!

OK. Dougy doesn’t want to play!
We tried again a bit later, but Dougy apparently is on strike!

Shortly after I took those photos, Dougy decided he was a kitty cat after all, and went crazy chasing the wand toy! Whew! For a moment, I thought Dougy forgot how to get his kitty on!
Dougy is in charge! I see ours do that too.
He gave me hints he wanted to play few minutes go, then I got the big “ho hum” from him.
He’s boss. Dougy well let you know when he’s ready. Don’t you know? 😁
I see such beautiful games for cats in pet stores.
That’s a fact! I’ve purchased lots of them over the years, but the things mine seem to like best are Neeko wand toys and a colored string off a broken wand toy. The created a little game with the string thingy. Makes no sense to me, but they seem to have fun playing it.
I’ve seen marvelous toys. Now they carry the catnip plants also and other herbs such as “pet grass” here in Florida
I grow catnip and cat grass since they both are easy to grow and there’s no place around here that sells the plants year around. K-mart does sell catnip plants during the gardening season, however. The thing I don’t like about the grass is it lasts such a short time before it dies out. I’d like to grow regular grass inside, but it seems now to like the low light or, perhaps, needs a dormant time, so it doesn’t last, either.
Our Hope kitty ate one of my basil plants I was growing indoors. It surprised me, but basil must have some sort of agreeable stink factor she liked. She goes crazy over catnip, so I should try that and reseed often. 🙂
Some varieties have a sort of musky undertone. Maybe that is attractive to kitties.
hahaha….so familiar Doug. I try playing with Shoko and she gets the same expression as Dougy. The look of “What’s wrong with you peep…are you trying to make me look stupid?” Then when the camera is put away, she’s all over the straw like a dirty mouth. Cats!!

LOL! I feel your pain!
So glad Dougy got his kitty on. Have a great week Doug. ~~dru~~
Me, too! It always concerns me if a kitty seems depressed or lethargic. If he’s just not in the mood, that’s OK!
😊 of course he must be in the mood for playing
Ah, there is a special button to turn on the kitty. You live and learn….
Dougy is saying, “Talk to the hand.” Or paw
