Andy has his own style of peacock feather play: He hides behind the chair and lets me know he’s there by saying “Meow!”
Yeah! That’s what I mean!
RAWR!
Then Dougy shows up to take on the other end of the feather!
Good play time for the kitty boys!
The peacock Feather would have to be invented to be the privileged toy of the kitties ! 🙂

Peacocks the world over shed their tail feathers to amuse home decorators and kitty cats!
Last time we had a peacock feather, we tore it to shreds! So much fun!!
I believe you! Tell your human to buy them by the dozens because that’s the best way to serve your cats! Ha!
It must bring such joy to your heart to have them both in your life!
LOL! They are so demanding sometimes, yet they are funny, loving, photogenic, and, yes, a joy to have in my life!
Your kitties remind me of all those Christmases when we kids played with the wrapping paper and ignored the expensive toys! Nothing like homemade fun!
LOL! Same principle, I suppose!
The boys look like they are thoroughly enjoying that feather, Doug! It’s already quite frayed. 🙂
Replaced it this morning, and it’s already showing a bit of wear!
That is a well loved feather 🙂
It got a well-deserved “rest” (in the trash) from play this morning!
Yay! the peacock feather is back!
It is a very important part of the kitty boys’ play! I did replace that specific feather after the photos taken in this post, however. The new one already has some play time on it, which means it has a broken shaft, of course, because Andy and Dougy play for keeps!
Dougy and Andy: peacock feather
Smoky (my shorthair): aluminum foil
I don’t know why my kitty likes to play with foil from the kitchen. You need to crumble it up to make it turn into a ball. He likes to play with it all day long until he looses it. Kitty toys are just getting weirder and weirder.
That they are! Andy and Dougy like things that make crinkly sounds, which must be the same thing Smoky likes about the aluminum foil ball!
Maybe.
feathers are fabulous… … wonder why we buy toys, a feather, wrapping paper and a box is the much better option :o)
I totally agree! I’ve wasted money of expensive toys for the kitty boys, and watched them really, really, really get excited about the box the toys came in! One I bought was an animated toy with a tail rolled along the floor, flopping the tail. Supposedly, kitties get very excited to see the tail in motion, but mine ran away to hide under the bed, frightened to death! But a simple peacock feather…wunderbar, as the Germans say! Wonderful! A folded newspaper on the floor? Whew! They play King of the Mountain for hours! A broken wand toy, its multi-colored fabric strip all that’s left of the toy, and the kitty boys created a game where Andy carries the cloth strip to a starting point, meows a hideous mrowl of a challenge to Dougy, and they chase each other wildly through the apartment! Yes, nothing is better than what the kitties work out for themselves! Save the money, folks, give the next box or paper sack to the kitty, and you will be a hero!
Hahah, you’re right… Phenny just had fun with a dry spaghetti he found on the counter… a whole package of spaghetti is 0.99 and a bag of chewing sticks is 4.99… easy decision. lol
I think Phenny is an exceptional pooch, from what I see on your very entertaining blog! He gets the most charming expressions on his face, though I think he gives himself away when he has a rare naughty moment! (I highly recommend people reading this take a look to see what I mean!)
