20Aug20: playing the piano…

Whoop! Whoop! Andy wraps his tail around my arm when I “play piano” on his spine!  Then, of course…

…he has to clean up. Fun then take care of kitty business.

 

Post 1607: Doug plays hard to get…

 

Dougy’s been pestering me to play “wand toy” with him, so I tried to play along. Now he is playing hard to get: “You didn’t stop everything and play right now, so I’m ignoring you!”

Aw, Dougy! Andy’s incredulous! (and too close to the camera…)

Looking cute, but not getting into play that much yet.

“Dougley, Dougley, Dougley!” Andy can’t believe Dougy isn’t in the mood to play. I mean, it was his idea in the first place, right?!

Maybe he’ll play some more… or not.

Nope! Dougy headed over to the cat tree to enjoy the scene out the window.

“Yer missing out on some hot fun, Dougy!” Andy sticks around to play “wand toy”!

Poor Dougy! While Andy took a long nap, Dougy stopped by the recliner several times to get “scritches” from Doug (the human) and to knead Doug’s arm, Dougy’s current happy place. (Ouch!) He took a nap after a short time on the cat tree. He needed it.

Post 1591: a year ago today…

A year ago today, my brother Richard died from a form of bone cancer. I miss him but have warm memories of what a great older brother he was to me.  

The kitty boys love, love, loved my brother, too. They knew he was fun to have around and weren’t shy with him like they are with most people. 

Post 1583: same old, same old…

Dougy and I were in intense feather toy play when I accidentally flopped the bird into the overhead fan light cover, causing a loud “ping”.

The “ping” sound was very, very, very interesting to Dougy, so he hopped up on the recliner to try to catch whatever made that sound!

I tried to get him reinterested in the feather toy, but Dougy insisted there was something big and worth a follow up behind that “ping”!

Andy, on the other hand, made sure his “precious” was cleaned and kitty-sanitized for the next use.

Just the same old, same old at the kitty boy place…. 

Post 1582: so Dougy will play with other toys…

Kool Kitty!

Dougy pretends nothing’s happening, but the lower right hand photo betrays his “indifference”! He knows, yes, he knows!

Woo hoo! the Birbug toy plops by Dougy and he pounces. The game is on.

Post 1580: expensive toys…meh!

The early enthusiasm lasts a short time.

Put some effort into it, kitties. Any effort!

This toy is toast.

This toy amused Andy for a short time and Dougy just didn’t get it!

Much like the food bag strip that’s amused the kitty boys for a long time now, Andy found a toy he really, really, really likes ~ a folded piece of copy paper!
