Cat Toys

Today was a perfect lesson in cat toys. Our friend Ann gave us a cute little plastic fabric arch with a ball on a string hanging down on the inside. She gave it to us because - wait for it - her cats weren't interested in it. We figured, hey, Lucia will play with anything. We put it down on the floor, and Lucia immediately went for the swinging ball. She broke the string and ran it around the house until she passed a plastic pull-plug from a milk carton. Ball forgotten; milk plug all over the house. Professor Remus J. Lupin walked over to the arch and began giving it a good long liesurely but thorough sniffing. Carmen wondered aloud if, when he smelled Ann's cats on there he got an image in his mind's eye of what they look like. We'll never know. So the arch thing is abandoned and the really fun stuff like bottle lids keep flying. Gotta love cats.
