Frolicking Friday!

Kitties!

Sweet Pea here!
*pant pant*
I'm playing The Game with the All Time Favorite Toy (ATFT).

The Game requires Mommy on the other end of the ATFT.  She's pretty good about playing with us every evening, all we have to do is let her know we're ready to go!  Which we do by carousing around, causing "trouble" and by being "naughty".  These terms are grossly inaccurate, but whatever. 
Now that the carpet is gone The Game has gotten even better--I can run and slide, and make the Cube slide, too!
(Check out Mommy's outfit--another winner...*sigh*)

The ATFT is rather elaborate, consisting of some fezzant fevvers taped (LOTS of tape cuz it's fun to gnaw) onto the end of a dowel rod...
...with a rawhide shoelace tied onto the end.  VERY complicated.

There's a knot on the end of the lace so we can get good gription.
(Sylvester loves this game too and he really likes the knot because his front claws are gone...) 
I like to lurk on the cube and stalk the rawhide.

ATTACK! 
Got it!

Of course as soon as we get a grip Mommy tugs on the ATFT.   
This is what makes The Game so FUN!
You never know what that wily lace will do next.

The fevvers are unpredictable too. 
Look at 'em here, molesting my pantaloons!

Excuse me a second... 
*bappity bap grab CHOMP*

Hmph.
That was rather undignified. 
But that's what happens when the ATFT appears!

It turns us into kittens all over again. 
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a rawhide shoelace that needs killing!


Happy Fiday!

  8. That toy looks like loads of fun! Your human should market them - I say this only because my human is too lazy and inept to do it herself. (Techie she is, handy she is not.)

  18. You do fine work, Sweet Pea. And I very much like your Mommy's wardrobe!

  19. Ooooh, that ATFT looks really FUN. I have toys with fev-vers, but that leather string-thing really adds a dimension of playworthiness that I need in my life. I 'greez with Sparkle--your Mommeh should market these. Maybe she should quit that Water Job and devote herself to the design of AFCT* (*All-Time Favorite Cat Toys). She already has built in focus groups and beta testers. Just think: She could stay home and play with you all day long!!

  21. Wooohoooo... glad to say you get to play by being naughty. The boys do that and HH always feels as if she's reinforcing "bad" behavior.... Not so. Right?

    Have a great day.

    pawhugs, Max

  27. That looks like a lot of fun, Sweet Pea! You know what happens when my mom and I play with toys like that? She lets me grab it and then lets me walk off with it--that's my favorite way to play! Just last night I took the wand into my tunnel!

  28. You mean you couldn't slide on the carpet????

  29. At last!!! I wondered where you were hiding Sweet Pea. What fun you are having with the ATFT and you could never be undignified. How dare those fevvers molest your beautiful pantaloons.

  36. Oh Sweet Pea that looks like so much fun!!!

    We used to love the cat dancer, but a certain someone (ARCHIE) started taking it too seriously and growling at the rest of us so now mum doesn't let us play with it hardly at all :-(
