Andy is minding his own business when…
…Doug tosses an odd object tied to ribbon onto the lapboard.
Andy examines it, closely. And sniffs it, too.
Perplexed, unsure what it is or what to do with it…
…Andy makes his decision.
Boop! It’s a “toy”!
Or is it?
=(^+^)=
What you don’t see above is the ribbon end fluttering in the fan-generated breeze. Once Andy responded to the “action”, the strange object became a toy. The object? The ribbon by itself wasn’t heavy enough to get the end over to where Andy was so I tied this thing – a Coban wrap ring – onto the end to add a light weight to help out.
(The Coban is wrapped around the bandages put on my dialysis access wounds to add compression that helps with post dialysis bleeding when the needles are removed. Sometimes, the wrap rolls down on the arm, necessitating rolling it off my arm instead of unwrapping it. The result: the Coban wrap ring! Is it a toy? Anything can be a toy to a cat. It’s all in how it’s presented.)
Cats definetely decide what will be toys.
Indeed, anything is a toy to a cat. Cords. Necklaces. Glasses. I must be on the alert at all times!
Part of the joys of living with a kitty, eh?!
Toy innovations always work well for kitties!
My floor is littered with various things turned into toys for Andy.
Quite so. One of Ellie’s favourites is an empty tissue box
LOL! “Oh, Andy plays with that,” explains a lot of clutter in my apartment. People who don’t have cats don’t always understand of appreciate these unlikely things.
how great… it is even an animated toy… what would such a kind of toy cost at a petstore ? LOL
I hope nothing. LOL! The more costly the toy, the less likely Andy is to play with it.
I am familiar with rolling off the coban, sometimes having done that after blood draws. I bet it does make a good toy as Andy as shown. Andy is a very good kitty boy.
It has a nice mouthability.
I turn my post blood donation elastic wraps into cat toys!
Andy looks nice and floofy again!
There is something surprising to learn I’m not alone. LOL!
A great post, Doug! Andy is such a sweet cat, I wish I could pick him up. ☺️ Thank you for the information about your dialysis. ❤️
Thanks, John!
