12Apr22: a bit playful, but not…

Andy stayed for a few rounds of “Kill-kill-kill!” then he left for a short time.

When he returned, he observed the toy swinging through the air, but didn’t show any signs of playfulness. He left again to get a drink of water.

When he returned, he had other plans! 

11Apr22: So he doesn’t want to play!

Andy’s not responding to his current favorite toy, so I mess with him.

He leaves the scene, but I try one last thing to get him to play.

Looking productive! 

He sniffs it, then leaves the room!

We’ll play later when he feels like it.

10Apr22: Andy “RAWRs” in the newspaper…

RAWR!

Dead. Andy’s “killed” the Neko toy for today!

09Apr22: patience…

I looked up and this is what I saw.

Andy waits for me to play with him.

I guess he got tired of waiting there, so he moved over to the comfortable kitty lounger!

(Thanks for the photos for today’s post, kitty boy!)

08Apr22: Andy’s busy morning….

Andy has a busy day. Now, a nice Greenie treat would help!

07Apr22: Andy flinches

I made the mistake of using flash recently.

Now, even with the flash turned off, Andy tends to flinch when he sees me point my smartphone at him. 

06Apr22: To toy or to lick?

Andy has a decision to make: play or groom?

Good move, Andrew!

05Apr22: Andy’s not done with that toy…

The attraction is strong. Andy sneaked off with “The Toy”, but I found it before he lost it.

It’s always the “In the Newspaper Folds” hunt, Andy’s favorite way to play with this toy. It’s in a darkish place, though, making photos difficult to get that are decent to post.

I decided to use flash, though there are consequences.

Yes, now this is what I’ll get every time Andy sees me pointing my smartphone at him!

04Apr22: editing experiment…

The original.

ENHANCE_BLUR: This is one possibility.

03Apr22: Andy takes it on!

Andy doesn’t need a second call to play! 

After knocking it off the board a few times…

…Andy tries batting it around on the board.

Now he sees he needs a quick groom.

Andy’s priorities shifted on the fly. Time for a kitty bath.
