I set up objects Andy is known to find “pounceable”.
I call his name. If I toss these one by one, he will chase after them! Well, he has in past.
I have his attention!
Looks like progress! Andy is ready to play!
Or not. Rats! Andy just wants to rest on the lapboard.(Andy got into the spirit of “play” later.)
Maybe he’s reevaluating what playtime means now that Dougy isn’t around. I still can’t believe he’s gone.
Mr. Doug, my mom asks: “Did your veterinarian indicate what might have taken Dougy’s life? We never did find out why our cat, Tiberius, went OTRB at such a young age several years ago. It was a rainy evening, two days after Christmas. I’ve often wondered if my Tiberius might have nibbled on a toxic plant somewhere outside, got into anti-freeze that maybe a neighbor left out, had a blood clot that took his life or maybe had coughing attack and couldn’t catch his breath. (He tended to have occassional coughing fits from allergies.) I’ve also wondered if maybe he went in shock from the human-grade Albacore tuna from the can I had served him a few times that Christmas, as I later learned that it has 3x the salt content than regular canned tuna! I still miss him each and every day.”
No, I never learned what caused Dougy’s death. I miss him a lot because he was such a comedian! Andy has always been a very serious kitty. When Dougy would play on the drop of a hat, Andy would watch a long time before he’d join in. On the other hand, he and Dougy played a game they made up using a string of a wand toy. If I hear Andy making a certain vocalization, I associate it with his call to Dougy to come play their game. It tears my heart out! Fortunately, it’s happened only once or twice since Dougy died.
He just wants to remind you that he controls when he plays, not you 🐸
Absolutely! And I do mean absolutely!
He’s got this look, You humans think you can manipulate us, but the opposite is true – we easily manipulate you!
Actually, I think it’s the senate hearing that turns him off.
I know it turned me off. I watch a little at the first, then turned to something else. I could see it wasn’t going to be anything but a show required to add legitimacy to her appointment.
and who is frustrated? 🙂

Definitely me! Dougy was more reliable if I needed to do a post with something happening. Andy is Andy!
Rest is the best 🙂 amitiés !
Yes, I agree~!
Bottle caps are among the favorite cat toys here. If Andy was listening to the news at the time, he may have chosen a good nap instead. 🙂
LOL! Certainly some truth in that. He will watch television when I don’t expect him to. His tail stops swishing back and forth when Classical music is playing, making me think he likes it. Who knows!
Like the shot of Andy lying next to the (in his opinion) lame pill bottles. HaHaHa you just thought he was getting ready to play. Once again Andy shows who’s boss. 😉
He told me, eh?!
Andy says no go! I’ve got too many pill bottles in the cabinet these days…
I have four I take regularly, and only one is for a serious condition. Two are vitamins people on dialysis require to replace those depleted in the process and one is a phosphorus binder, something excess of which the kidney in healthy people takes care of. Still, too many!
hahaha same here… as soon as I want to do something with them they fall asleep and are not in the mood LOL
“I’m not your plaything!”
