Paper Toss

My cat L loves to fetch small pieces of crumpled paper. He made up this game. I don't even remember the first time he dropped a paper ball in front of me. I just thought what if he thinks I like to throw the paper and that he is playing with me as opposed to my playing with him. Hmmmm. He is quite adept with his pieces of paper, and as a consequence the house is filled with them, as we always want to have one handy to throw. They get everywhere, under the refridge, move the couch and there are hoards of them, went to clean out the stove and found them underneath. An infestation of pieces of paper. When I'm lying in bed reading or watch TV L will jump onto the bed with one in his mouth. He walks right up me and drops the paper on my chest, sometimes he drops it in my hand, and if he drops it at the foot of the bed and I say "Here" while tapping the bed next to me he will look at it, look at me, and bat it over with his paw. So whenever he jumps onto the bed with something in his mouth I'm ready for the throw. That is until tonight. I was reading, L jumped on the bed and dropped something, I reached for it and realized it was a mouse!

Hi Jamie,

That mouse must have had you jumping from your bed.

One of my cats, Milkshake loves to play with strings. One time, Sushi, our other cat joined us and I noticed that while we were playing the string kept getting smaller. Then I saw Sushi swallowing the pieces of string. We don't allow her to play string anymore as she might not be able to digest it.

Would love to see photos of your cats :)

Hi Catgirlph,

Sounds like you have a houseful! Any mice? LOL. I certainly jumped out of bed! My hand was reaching to toss the "paper" when my mind registered that the "paper" was not a "paper".

My cats sometimes get a hold of a rubberband that they try and swallow.

I'll try and get some photos up. Thank for your posts.
