Dougy wanted to play earlier, but decided what he really wanted to do was sleep. Later, I tried to get his kitty on. He took a sniff and a look at the toy, but returned to sleep. All in a kitty boy’s day!

Andy and I miss Dougy
That’s how I’ve been feeling a lot lately, too, Dougy. Sometimes a kitty just wants to get in some extra sleep time, right? Mom thinks I’m kind of in a slump. Dad says I’m just getting old. Winks.
You need a bug to show up to keep you in fighting trim, Valentine! (Or, a good nap – you’ll know which will do the most good!)
Sometimes you are just too tired to do anything else.
That’s a fact!
A kitty has to weigh his options. To wake and play or to sleep and look absolutely gorgeous? Tis a hard one but i played with that toy before, it’s no big thrill. Now, I was dreaming of a long haired mouse, it was black and ansered to the name of Dougy. I will continue with my shut eye.

Dougy would be amused to be dreamt about that way!
Which Neko flies attachment is that? 🙂
It’s a really beat up Birbug. I have a new one in reserve, but they still like playing with this one.
I’ll have to get one of those for my four. They’ve got some of the other attachments but not this one. 🙂
It’s the first one I got for them, and they’ve gone through four of them now. They do last a good while even with rough kitty play, and they continue to excite the kitty boys even after parts get pulled off. I like the size of the toy since it seems to add interest for the kitties.
Yeah we have some of their attachments but I’ve not tried this one yet. So next on the list it’ll be. 🙂
Hope it’s a hit at your home, too!
Certainly is especially with the naughty orientals. 😹

Ya got to open a window with a ‘cat bird’ seat so they can watch & listen to all the early morning birdies❗️ 🐱🐱 😉
It isn’t advisable here – Andy is a screen climber and has actually pulled screens off windows. I live near two major roads, and they are indoor kitties for their safety. An screen off the window would present an opportunity for an escape. I can, and do, crack the windows open enough that they can hear the birds but wouldn’t be able to escape if Andy accidentally pulled the screen off when climbing it.
After 12 yrs Washe cat (indoor cat too) has not done the Screen YET, I’m sure he being a 13# critter he could easily do it. He sure luvs the birds though.
√ out this viddy of him!
wags his tail like a puppy 🙂 🐱
That video! 😹
Wow! I really enjoyed the video! That cardinal definitely has nerves of steel, and your kitty got a very good look at the bird. Does he chirp while watching birds or other potential prey? I bet your kitty could pull down a screen at 13 pounds! (5,9kg) Andy’s only 9 pounds 4 ounces (4,2kg) as of his last veterinarian visit.
Washe chatters like a ticker-tape chi chi chi! & even changes the pitch for different birds. He reminds me of a hunter blowing on a duck-call enticing the game toward his blind ❗️ 🐦 🐱 🙂
I wonder if that hunter’s duck call business is what that chattering is all about. As a birder, I know many birds are attracted to twittery-type sounds., The Audubon bird call makes chirpy sounds, for example. You may be onto some truth here! I just played this video of the sounds it can make, and Dougy stood up on his ottoman to see the bird!

Yepper! just played it and the old man (nutered) just rose from nap off the sofa looking at me WHERE IS IT 🙂 🐱
It gets kitties’ attention, for sure!
Cornell University has all the bird sounds too 😉
That’s my favorite bird reference site!
