Recently I found a cat toy at a thrift store. I am not sure who makes it. The closest I could find was a toy called SmartCat 3836 Tick Tock Teaser perhaps this is a predecessor. They really loved it for the first ten minutes but now they barely notice it.
Chris is one of those cats that continued to play like a kitten well into adulthood. Lately, however, the kitten in him did not come out very often. That changed the other day when Rose found a mouse under the refrigerator. It was a small mouse that I had never seen before. It must have found its way under the fridge shortly after coming out of the package.
I don’t know what is different about this mouse than all his other mice but he plays with it like he is a kitten again, and after several days, he has not become bored with it. I still see him chasing that thing around several times a day. It’s nice to know my lovable “bad cat” has not fully grown up yet.
This is Puck hanging from the cat tree under Chris. Sorry about the less-than-perfect quality of the photo. I think the lens fogged up when I brought the camera from the cool house to the hot and humid patio.
While Chris and Frankie still don’t get along, at least Puck is here as a good nap buddy for Chris.
Originally I was going to share only these two photographs, which were taken several days ago, but when I removed Chris from the keyboard and put him on my lap so I could write this post, he left to go hang out with puck on the bed. This is what happened next:
I don’t think I need to say much about this one.
Believe it or not, we do actually have times of peace in our house.
I know Frankie has been featured in too many Photo Friday posts lately but he just seems to do the cutest things. Lately he has decided that Rose’s decorative bowl is a great place to hang out or just nap.
I cannot open the laundry room door or any closet door without one or more cats wanting to go inside to perform a thorough investigation. Recently both Chris and Frankie were investigating a closet but I have yet to get their full report.
This is my investigation Chris! Find your own closet.
Calm down Frankie. I just want to smell your face.
Let’s call a temporary truce… Okay, agreed.
Look Frankie! This is where I buried your predecessor. Ha, ha, ha… Just kidding.
I think there might be a secret stash of mice in here. If I only had opposable thumbs.
Okay Frankie, I’m bored. What do you want to investigate now?
This is Frankie and Puck in our bathtub. See if you can come up with a funny caption and then click here to see what I came up with.
Frankie has virtually taken over the ledge between the kitchen and dining room. He is even sleeping there now.
