Angie's Toy Idea.....


I liked the simplicity of tying a bottle cap to a string that was mentioned in the Trinity Weight thread. so made one with a milk bottle cap, and it seems to have been a success! It's a bit difficult to wave around the toy with one hand while taking a pic with the other ....... here are the results....

I like this one...looking so intent and focussed, whiskers forward:





And she actually prefers chewing the string...cats!

Re: Angie's Toy Idea.....


Is the thermal cushion the leopard print thing she's sitting on? Tres smart if so

I'm discovering the fun of playing with a cat, as Myshka will chase anything, unlike my staid oldies . . . it's great isn't it?

Yes it is; she loves that thing; she doesn't come up to bed with me as much as usual; she really likes the warmth, and it certainly is softer than the radiator cover! She adopted it the day iy came out of the box:


We must see some Myshka pics when you feel he's settled enough; so nice thst he's active and playing with you!

Re: Angie's Toy Idea.....


LOL, Eileen, he's about as settled as he can be. He's up in the sitting room curled up on OH's lap fast asleep . I nearly got a great shot of him lying infront of the cooker warming his fluffy butt as we had the oven on . . . but he moved when I went for the camera

I'm out for the whole day tomorrow but will more than likely get some pictures of him during Sunday/Monday

Best thing I ever did was have a kick heater installed in the kitchen - it's right at the floorline and Merlin's second favourite place in the world, especially when it's a cold day and the heater is on!

Ours packed up several years ago and OH hasn't been able to get it working again The cooker's a big one so it/the oven heats the kitchen plenty!
