Fantastic Friday!

Kitties!

Grayce here, and I have some WONDERFUL news:
Our friend Steve is out of the rehab hospital, and HOME!

HURRAH!

In fact, last night he came over for a visit (yup, he's driving and everything) and to give us our Catmas present.  Of course, Mommy and Daddy got gifts, too--but the REAL present was the ribbon on the packages!  Mommy (in a fit of inspired frontal cortex activity) tied it onto the end of the All Time Favorite Toy (ATFT) for us to play with.
Can you see six of us in the photo?  
No?
Sylvester is peeking out from behind our everso stylishly clad Mommy.
Holy Cod.

The ribbon flitters and flutters about, making a delightfully enticing ribbony rustling noise.

It drives us crazypants!

I'm not usually a big toy fan, but the Ribbon-Augmented ATFT is irresistible.  Do you see how I'm flaring my tail base?  I only do that when I'm super-duper excited.  Worked up.  Full of beans.

It REALLY got my motor running! 
I chased it all over the Great Room, skidding and skitching into the turns...

...and when it flew over the ESS... 
...I saw my chance!

I poufed my tail, bared my mighty fangs, and gave it the BITEY! 
Kitties, I dedded that ribbon so good, it was too terrible to photograph.

Golly, I wonder what Steve will bring us next?


Happy Friday!

  1. That looks most excellent. Especially the floofed up tail base.
    But we want to know if Steve was able to drive home safely afterwards, or was he back in hospital: afterall, your Mommy told everyone she was going to kick his butt real bad if he ever recovered :))
